• When working with electronic equipment or with
electrical wiring, it may from time to time become
necessary to splice or join wires together. Splices and
joints are essentially the same thing. Several different
methods of doing this exist. The fundamental
necessities of an effective splice include making sure
the wires are securely fastened to each other even
without solder and that they are well-soldered to avoid
corrosion. All wire joints must also be taped with
electrical tape after soldering.

you do if you encounter this kind of situation, how will
you connect these 2 wires?
 Kinds of Splices and Joints
• A splice joint is a method of joining two
members end to end in woodworking. The
splice joint is used when the material being
joined is not available in the length required.
It is an alternative to other joints such as the
butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are
stronger than unenforced butt joints and have
the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint.
 WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANCE OF SPLICES
AND JOINTS?
• The connections must be well made and the
wires tightly joined to prevent a loss of voltage
to the device powered. In high current
situations a poor connection causes heat at
the connection and oxidation of the wires and
no more or intermittent connections. Most
problems in electrical is not a short but: an
open connection.
