Cross-linked polyolefin tubing is stronger than PVC and won't burn like it. The heat-activated adhesive lining seals against salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight, and relieves strain. The nylon insulator, favored by experts, offers Marine Grade™ resistance to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut-through damage. These connectors are UL Listed and CSA Recognized. They have a high shrink ratio, shrinking to 1/3 of their original size at 257°F/125°C. The operating temperature ranges from 40°C to 110°C. ANCOR heat shrink connectors have built-in heat-activated adhesive. They shrink to form a watertight seal and excellent vibration and strain relief. They're tinned for corrosion resistance, made of pure copper for maximum current flow, and have a brazed seam for strength. There are different wire ranges, mm sizes, quantities per pack, and part numbers available.
Using these Ancor heat shrink butt connectors is easy. First, choose the right connector for your wire range. You can find the appropriate one in the table provided with the product. Strip the ends of the wires you want to connect. Insert the stripped wires into the connector. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat to the connector. Make sure to heat it evenly until it shrinks to form a tight, watertight seal. When using the heat gun, keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating or damaging the connector. Also, work in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, store the connectors in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If you notice any signs of damage or corrosion, it's best to replace the connector.
