Splice Savers (Delphi / Aptiv)
Splice Saver connectors (originally from Delphi, now Aptiv) allow one or more internal splices inside a single low-profile housing. They replace soldered or crimped splices, reducing mass, complexity, and environmental impact. Available in **unsealed** and **sealed** versions using 150 GT or 280 Metri-Pack terminals.

Features
- Eliminates solder and traditional splices
- Flexible bussing (1–12 ways, configurable)
- Low-profile design with cap lock
- Sealed or unsealed, grounded or non-grounded options
- Uses 150 GT, 150, or 280 Metri-Pack terminals
- ISO/SAE compatible
Typical Applications
- Power distribution (single-feed)
- Grounding (single-point)
- Signal/sensor interfaces
- Diagnostic/test points
- Replacing clip-and-dip splices in harnesses
Performance Advantages
- Reduces cut leads and connectors
- Environmentally friendly (no solder)
- 12-way system configurable with index changes only
- Lightweight and compact
