(2) Option 2: Wire splice method.

(a) If terminal lug barrel is used for splicing, select barrel diameter large enough to accept both wires (Item1,

(b) Cut off terminal flush wire pre-insulation (Item 2, figure 4-4).

(c) Cut insulating sleeve one inch longer than the barrel (Item 3, figure 4-4).

(d) Strip end of broken wires (Item 4, figure 4-4).

(e) Install insulating sleeve or shrink tubing, if available, over one end of broken wire (Item 5, figure 4-4).

(f) Insert wires into the prepared splice barrel and crimp to secure the wires (Item 6, figure 4-4).

(g) Slide sleeve or tubing over the splice or use tape to insulate the conductor and apply heat to shrink material.

Ends of non-shrink sleeve must be tied (Item 7, figure 4-4).

Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as practicable, repair the equipment using

standard maintenance procedures.
