Used them for years on aircraft for expedient/battle damage repairs - not sure if there’s different quality types but they work well if shrunk properly.

Used these before.Found it best too warm up the twisted wires before fitting in the sleeve as the heat shrink would burn before getting the solder hot enough to join the wires properly.Prefer using solder and standard glued heat shrink.

And a good crimp. IMHO, the insulated crimps are the work of the devil. Get a decent set from a good electrical outlet and there is a difference despite them looking the same. I went from electrics that worked via telepathy with connectors falling off (including on cars I bought with them fitted) to something that works fine. Better still, get the ones that 'wrap' and dig into the cable and put your own factory looking sheath/insulation on top. |
