In the refrigerated shipping container industry, reliable power distribution is critical to maintaining cargo integrity. Among essential reefer unit consumables, splice kits play a pivotal role in ensuring secure, long-lasting electrical connections. These components are designed to bridge gaps in power cables, minimizing downtime and preventing costly failures in demanding reefer environments.

Two primary types of splice kits are widely used:

1.Standard Splice Kits: Engineered for 10–12 AWG wires, these kits handle up to 600VAC and 50A (10 AWG) or 35A (12 AWG). With dielectric breakdown ratings of 6000V (electrical tape) and 13 kV/mm (mastic tape), they ensure robust insulation. Rated for 75°C, they are ideal for standard reefer unit consumables applications.

2.Splice Kit Fast: Built for broader wire sizes (10/4–11/4 AWG), this variant supports 750V AC/DC and 41A. Its IP68 waterproof rating and IK10 impact resistance make it suitable for extreme conditions, including temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C.

Faulty splices can lead to voltage drops, overheating, or corrosion—all risks that compromise reefer efficiency. High-quality reefer splice kits meet rigorous safety standards, such as UL94 V0 flammability ratings, ensuring compliance and operational resilience. Proper installation also reduces maintenance needs, extending the lifespan of reefer systems.

When selecting reefer unit consumables, prioritize kits that align with your system’s voltage, current, and environmental requirements. For extreme climates or high-power applications, the Splice Kit Fast offers superior durability. Always verify certifications and compatibility with your reefer’s wiring infrastructure.
