Splice Saver

From epicEFI Wiki

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.

Overview of Splice Saver components (male cap assembly, female connector, TPA, and bus blade for internal splicing).

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
