100% Tinned Copper Butt Connectors for Marine Wiring – #1 AWG
These Ancor Marine Grade™ tinned butt connectors provide a clean, reliable inline splice for #1 AWG wire in marine electrical systems. Made from 100% tinned copper, they resist the corrosion that standard connectors can’t handle in salt air and wet environments. The barrel accepts wire from both ends for a secure crimp connection that maintains conductivity over the long term — essential on high-current circuits where connection quality directly affects performance and safety.
Sold as a 2-pack — enough for a single splice or two separate connections on the same circuit.
Compatible Applications
- Inline wire splices on #1 AWG high-current marine circuits
- Battery charger and inverter feed wiring repairs
- Windlass and high-draw DC accessory circuit connections
- Engine starting and alternator cable splices on #1 AWG
- Main DC distribution wiring repairs and extensions

🔧 Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: #1 AWG sits between #2 AWG and 1/0 AWG in the wire gauge scale — a less common size that appears in some engine starting circuits, high-capacity charger feeds, and heavy-draw DC runs where the installer specified #1 AWG. If you’re matching an existing cable, verify the gauge stamped on the jacket before ordering. The tinned copper barrel resists corrosion far better than bare copper in a marine environment, maintaining conductivity over years of exposure to moisture and salt air. For waterproof connections, consider the heat shrink butt connector assortment. For heavier gauge splices, step up to the 1/0 AWG version (252180).
