Ancor's 314229 heat shrink spade terminals (16 - 14 #8) come in a pack of 100. These terminals are tinned to resist corrosion and made of pure copper for maximum current flow. The brazed seam ensures maximum strength. They are UL - listed and CSA - recognized. The heat shrink connectors have heat - activated adhesive in the tubing sleeve. When heated, they create a watertight seal, offering great vibration and strain relief. Product dimensions: Height - 1.750 in, Width - 2.690 in, Length/Depth - 4.380 in, and Weight - 4.190 oz per unit in the package.
Using these Ancor heat shrink spade terminals is easy. First, make sure your wires are the right gauge (16 - 14). Slip the terminal over the wire end. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to heat the heat shrink tubing. As you heat it, the adhesive inside will melt and create a tight, watertight seal. Be careful not to overheat the terminal, as it could damage the tubing or the terminal itself. For maintenance, keep the terminals in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If you notice any signs of damage or wear, replace the terminal to ensure a good electrical connection.
