Distinguishing Straight Splices from Terminal Shapes
My roof-wiring work included joining light leads and bringing the groups into boxes.
The wider wiring sequence included solder-seal connections as well as routing work.
I also bought heat-shrink crimp butt connectors for the electrical kit.

My Takeaway from This Job
The connector choice starts with the shape of the connection. Haisstronica and Wirefy butt connectors join two wire ends in line; the Nilight assortment adds rings and forks for different wire-end arrangements.
Straight splices and ring or fork terminals have different connection shapes.

Heat-shrink sleeve
A heat-shrink butt connector combines the wire joint and its surrounding sleeve in one small component. The manufacturer guide distinguishes the crimping stage from shrinking the insulation around the completed joint. For van wiring, group the connectors by their marked wire range and keep the selected size with the circuit notes. Leave enough working length to reach both sides of the joint during assembly. My purchased connector assortment remains separate from solder-seal products and bare-barrel splices.
This Nilight assortment contains several crimp-terminal shapes with heat-shrink sleeves. Rings, forks and straight-splice pieces provide different wire-end formats.
