Abstract: A splice that includes two semi-cylindrical splice members joined together for relative pivotal movement into and out of engagement with each other in a closed mode and an open mode, respectively. Each splice member includes a plurality of channels. Respective channels of each splice member are aligned with each other in the closed mode to form respective cavities. The walls of a first cavity are structured and arranged to bear against a first length of wire, and the walls of a second cavity are structured and arranged to bear against a second length of wire. An electrical component is retained in a third cavity and is mechanically and electrically coupled to the first length of wire within the first cavity and the second length of wire in a fourth cavity.
