These Ancor heat shrink connectors are a game - changer. The cross - linked polyolefin tubing is far stronger than PVC and won't burn like it. The heat - activated adhesive lining creates an impervious seal against salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight, while also relieving strain. Experts prefer the nylon insulator for its Marine Grade™ resistance to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut - through damage. They are UL Listed and CSA Recognized. With the highest shrink ratio, shrinking to 1/3 of the original size at 257°F/125°C, they offer a wide operating temperature range from 40°C to 110°C. The built - in heat - activated adhesive in the heat shrink tubing sleeve forms a watertight seal, providing excellent vibration and strain relief. Tinned for corrosion resistance, made of pure copper for maximum current flow, and featuring a brazed seam for maximum strength. Available in different wire ranges (16 - 14 and 22 - 18), sizes (3 - 5 mm /5 mm and 0.3 - 0.8 mm /4 mm), genders (male and female), and each pack contains 100 pieces.
Using these Ancor heat shrink connectors is easy. First, select the right connector based on your wire range, size, and gender requirements. Slide the heat shrink connector onto the wire. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the connector. Once it reaches 257°F/125°C, it will start to shrink and form a tight seal. Make sure to apply heat slowly and steadily to avoid uneven shrinking. As for maintenance, these connectors are quite durable. However, try to keep them away from extreme heat or sharp objects that could damage the tubing. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Also, store them in a cool, dry place to ensure their long - term performance.
