Product Features:

• Heat shrink ring terminals are significantly stronger than conventional PVC tubing, ensuring durability and longevity.
• They possess outstanding resistance—they do not burn like PVC, and are equipped to handle tough environmental conditions.
• These terminals provide an impervious seal to salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight, ensuring the best protection for marine and outdoor applications.
• Apart from sealing, they also offer strain relief, which is crucial to prevent wire fatigue due to movement or vibration.
• Their nylon insulator is the preferred choice in marine grade applications, indicating its top-notch quality and reliability.
• The product touts an impressive resistance to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut-through damage, making it a robust choice for any setting.
• Certificates such as UL Listing and CSA Recognition are testimonials to the product's compliant and safe design.
• Featuring the highest shrink ratio, these terminals shrink to 1/3 of their original size for a tight and secure seal.
• They begin to shrink at a temperature of 257°F/125°C, which is within the range of a standard heat gun.
• Designed to function over an operating temperature range from 40°C to 110°C to suit various climates and scenarios.
• A heat activated adhesive is built into the sleeve of the heat shrink tubing, enhancing the integrity of the connection.
• They form a watertight seal, which is critical in preventing corrosion in marine environments.
• Technically engineered for vibration and strain relief, this terminal ensures that the wire-holding capability remains robust across all conditions.
• The tinned surface on the terminals helps to prevent corrosion, which ensures a consistent electrical connection over time.
• Made from pure copper to facilitate maximum current flow, eliminating any bottlenecks due to resistance.
• The brazed seam further enhances maximum strength, ensuring that the terminal maintains its shape and holds the wire securely.

WARNING: The product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (dehp), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
