The Ancor Heat Shrink Ring terminal is an essential component for those looking to make reliable electrical connections, specifically designed for 16-14 gauge wires with a 3/8″ screw size. Ideal for both the seasoned electrician and the DIY enthusiast, this pack offers a generous count of 25 terminals, making it a great value for any project that requires multiple wiring connections.
Here are the key features of this product:
- Cross Linked polyolefin tubing: Far more durable than standard PVC, this tubing boasts superior resistance to fire hazards. It meticulously seals against salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight, while simultaneously providing strain relief.
- Heat activated adhesive lining: Employing the benefits of heat, the adhesive interior of the tubing emerges activated. This results in an unyielding seal against the most common environmental threats — salt water, oil, and acids — in addition to exposure to direct sunlight. It also delivers strain relief, which is pivotal for long-term stability of electrical connections.
- Nylon insulator: The insulator of choice among professionals, nylon, is renowned for its robust resistance against degrading factors such as sunlight, water, oil, and chemicals. Its application in environments that experience a lot of vibration or are prone to damage is also notable, making these heat shrink terminals particularly well-suited for marine applications and rough service environments.
- UL Listed and CSA Recognized: With certifications from both UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and the CSA (Canadian Standards Association), this product meets rigorous safety and quality standards, assuring the user of its reliability and performance.
- Highest shrink ratio: These terminals shrink down to a third of their original size, guaranteeing a secure and snug fit around wires and connectors.
- Shrinks at 257°F/125°C: The specific temperature at which the tubing shrinks, allowing for easy application with a standard heat gun.
- Operating temperature range: Offering versatility in different environments, this terminal can reliably function in a temperature range spanning from 40°C to 110°C.
- Heat activated adhesive: These terminals possess an in-built adhesive within their sleeves that not only shrinks to form a waterproof seal but also mitigates the effects of vibration and strain — a dual-action characteristic vital to maintaining connection integrity.
- Tinned for corrosion resistance: The tinning process applied to these terminals combats corrosion, vastly improving their longevity and dependability.
- Pure copper for maximum current flow: Constructed of pure copper, these terminals provide the best possible conduction, thus ensuring optimal electrical current flow.
- Brazed seam for maximum strength: The brazed seam technology reinforces the terminal's overall structural integrity, culminating in a long-lasting and robust electrical connection.
- WARNING: This product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical recognized by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Consumers should refer to P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information.
