Wires in an airplane may need to be attached to the structure or the equipment, or they may need to be joined together. Special components called terminals are used to attach the wire. Splices are used to join wires.
Learning Objectives
- List the parts of a terminal
- List the parts of a splice
- Understand the difference between butt and parallel splices

Understanding how to attach a terminal or splice to wires is important for assembly electricians to correctly install wire bundles. It is also important that the assembly electrician selects the correct size terminal or splice for different sizes of wires.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the measurement unit CAU
- Select terminal and splice sizes based on the CAU of wires
- List the parts of a terminal crimping tool
- Understand the importance of the location of a crimp
