Butt crimps

[Discharged]

Hi, I want to split a power supply lead into two - one going to supply one output, the other going to another, and up to now I have been cutting the wire in question (1.5mm sq) and putting two wires into one end of a butt splice/crimp and another wire out the other side.

However, I'm not totally happy with this arrangement, and am wondering if there is such a thing as a splice that can allow a third wire to split off? Maybe shaped like a 'T', perhaps?

Any such thing available?

Never mate, but for what Discharged wants to do the Wagos seem to be a better prospect.
