Or a splice kit which includes a butt type connector and heat shrink
tubing. Also depends on where it is, underground?, etc?

That equals a # 10 in American wire. Wire nuts are ok, crimp ring
terminals with screws can be used with insulation over it. As said ,
depends on where it is used at and if more than 2 wires are to be
connected.

A similar option to the Panduit single splices are the cut-to-fit
strips. If you've got more than one wire to splice, this keeps things
nice and neat.

Just make sure you search for the right size. This may not be it, it's
just an example.

According to my wire tables, 5 mm = ~ 4 gauge, no wire nuts.

I think I looked at the metric wire number instead of mm. If 4 gauge
American, then no wire nuts.

Only MALE wires have Wire Nuts!

Can't believe the price. Here in Burma, it costs around 30 cents a piece.
