Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connectors – 12-10 AWG – 25 Pack

Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connectors are available in a pack of 25 and are designed for 12-10 AWG wire gauges. These connectors feature cross-linked polyolefin tubing, which is stronger and safer than PVC tubing as it doesn't burn. The heat-activated adhesive lining ensures a secure seal that is resistant to saltwater, oil, acids, sunlight, and also provides strain relief.

These connectors also come with a nylon insulator that is highly recommended by experts for its superior resistance to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut-through damage. They are UL Listed and CSA Recognized, guaranteeing their quality and reliability.

The heat shrink tubing shrinks at 257 degrees Fahrenheit (125 degrees Celsius) and has the highest shrink ratio, reducing its size to one-third of its original size. It can operate within a temperature range of 40 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius.

What sets ANCOR heat shrink connectors apart is the heat-activated adhesive built into the sleeve of the tubing. This adhesive ensures a watertight seal, excellent vibration resistance, and strain relief.

These connectors are tinned to provide corrosion resistance and are made of pure copper for maximum current flow. The brazed seam further enhances their strength.

The wire range for these connectors is 12-10 millimeters, corresponding to gauges 3-5.

Warning: This product contains chemicals, including di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), that are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information, please visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
