Frequently Asked Questions
1. What gauge wires are these terminals suitable for?
These terminals are designed for use with 12-10 gauge wires.
2. Are these terminals stronger than those with PVC tubing?
Yes, the cross-linked polyolefin tubing used in these terminals is much stronger than PVC tubing.
3. Can these terminals resist salt water, oil, and acids?
Yes, the heat-activated adhesive lining provides a seal that is resistant to salt water, oil, and acids.
4. What kind of insulator do these terminals have?
These terminals feature a nylon insulator, which is preferred by experts for its resistance to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut-through damage.
5. Are these terminals suitable for marine grade applications?
Yes, the nylon insulator and corrosion resistance make these terminals suitable for marine grade applications.
6. Are these terminals compliant with industry standards?
Yes, these terminals are UL Listed and CSA Recognized, ensuring their quality and compliance with industry standards.
7. How much do these terminals shrink when heated?
When heated, the terminals shrink to one-third of their original size, providing a tight and secure fit.
8. What is the operating temperature range of these terminals?
These terminals can operate in temperatures ranging from 40° C to 110° C.
9. Is there an adhesive in the heat shrink tubing?
Yes, the heat shrink tubing has an adhesive built into the sleeve, which is activated when heated, creating a water-tight seal and providing excellent vibration and strain relief.
10. Are these terminals tinned for corrosion resistance?
Yes, these terminals are tinned to resist corrosion and ensure maximum current flow.
11. How strong are these terminals?
These terminals have a brazed seam for maximum strength.
