The product is renowned for several key features that make it an indispensable part of any electrical toolkit:
- Stronger Material: The cross-linked polyolefin tubing provides higher durability than traditional PVC, enhancing the longevity of the connection.
- Adhesive Lining: The heat-activated adhesive lining ensures an impervious seal to guard against environmental factors such as salt water, oil, and acids and provides essential strain relief.
- Nylon Insulator: Its nylon insulator is optimal for marine grade applications, safeguarding against a variety of potentially damaging substances and conditions.
- UL Listed and CSA Recognized: Compliance with safety and quality standards is guaranteed, as these terminals are certified by respected organizations.
- High Shrink Ratio: The terminals efficiently shrink to a third of their original size when heat is applied, ensuring a tight fit.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: These terminals are versatile and functional within a broad range of temperatures.
- Heat Activated Adhesive: The built-in adhesive in the sleeve shrinks to form a water-tight seal which provides excellent vibration and strain relief.
- Tinned for Corrosion Resistance: Tinned surfaces make the terminals exceptionally resistant to corrosion, ideal for marine and outdoor applications.
- Pure Copper Construction: The use of pure copper ensures maximum current flow for a more efficient electrical system.
- Brazed Seam: The brazed seam design contributes to the strength and reliability of the terminal connection.
- Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, as per Proposition 65 (P65Warnings.ca.gov).
