Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connectors: Quick and Efficient Wiring Solution
The Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connectors stand out as a fast, reliable, and waterproof solution for joining wires, especially for marine applications where durability is paramount. They surpass their automotive equivalents in their remarkable resilience to challenging marine environments.
Every connector boasts a heat-activated adhesive embedded in the tubing sleeve. This ensures a watertight seal, thus protecting the wires from water and relieving strain and vibrations. The seamless barrels are optimised to secure wires firmly with minimal effort while ensuring robust connectivity. The wire-specific sizes further facilitate a steadfast connection.
Bulk packaging options come in clear, reusable jars with handy flip-up lids to simplify connector identification. Additionally, the Ancor Single Crimp Ratcheting Wire Terminal Crimper guarantee a correct crimp and a secure connection every time, aligning with the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) Guideline 11.14.3.8.
