Long-barrel splice for 8 AWG wire

The Burndy YS8C is a tin-plated copper wire connector designed for 8 AWG conductors. Its long-barrel construction provides an extended crimp area for secure splices in automotive and general electrical work. The red insulator identifies the gauge at a glance. This connector is CSA certified and UL listed for code-compliant installations.

Thermal and electrical performance

Tin-plated copper resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance during normal current flow. The connector runs at the temperature of the surrounding cable without adding measurable heat. No moving parts or active cooling means silent operation and zero power draw. The long barrel distributes mechanical stress to reduce fatigue on the crimp joint.

Questions about this item

How do I install the YS8C long-barrel splice on 8 AWG wire, and what step is often missed?

Strip the conductor to match the 1.75 in barrel length, insert fully, then crimp with a die sized for 8 AWG; the step often missed is verifying the wire reaches the barrel's centre stop before crimping.

What maintenance or replacement will the YS8C splice need over time?

The tin-plated copper barrel resists corrosion, so no routine maintenance is required; replace the splice only if the barrel shows cracking, severe discolouration or if a CSA/UL inspection flags mechanical damage.
