Frequently Asked Questions
1. What gauge wire is compatible with this terminal?
This terminal is designed for 16-14 gauge wire.
2. What size screws can this terminal accommodate?
This terminal can accommodate #10 screws.
3. How many terminals are included in each pack?
Each pack contains 25 terminals.
4. What makes the cross-linked polyolefin tubing used in this terminal stronger than PVC tubing?
The cross-linked polyolefin tubing used in this terminal is stronger than PVC tubing because it is resistant to burning and provides a secure connection.
5. What are the benefits of the heat-activated adhesive lining?
The heat-activated adhesive lining creates an airtight seal, offering protection against salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight. It also provides strain relief for your wiring.
6. Why is a nylon insulator preferred for this terminal?
A nylon insulator is preferred for this terminal because it is resistant to sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut-through damage. It is a marine-grade insulator.
7. Has this product been tested and recognized by safety standards organizations?
Yes, this product has been tested and recognized by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association). It meets strict safety standards.
8. What is the shrink ratio of the heat shrink tubing?
The heat shrink tubing shrinks to one-third of its original size, providing a tight fit around your wire and terminal.
9. At what temperature does the tubing shrink?
The tubing shrinks at a temperature of 257°F/125°C, making it easy to activate and seal your connection.
10. What is the operating temperature range for this terminal?
This terminal can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 110°C.
11. Does the heat shrink tubing have a built-in adhesive?
Yes, the heat shrink tubing has an adhesive built into the sleeve, which activates during the shrinking process. This ensures a water-tight seal and offers excellent vibration and strain relief.
12. Is the terminal made of tinned or pure copper?
The terminal is tinned for corrosion resistance and made of pure copper to maximize current flow.
13. How is the terminal constructed for maximum strength and durability?
The terminal features a brazed seam for maximum strength and durability.
