Why use heat shrink terminals?
A. When using a standard crimp terminal, the wire is exposed to moisture and other contaminants. Over time, the wire starts to corrode which reduces the current carrying capacity of the electrical system. Also, adverse conditions such as cold, vibration, strain, etc., can cause the wire or wires to pull out of the connector. Shrink tubing prevents all of these from happening and reduces downtime of vehicles or equipment. For the very best wire terminal, we offer both ElectraLink and MultiLink connectors.ElectraLink combines solder with heat shrink tubing while MultiLink combines solder, heat shrink tubing & the ability to crimp as well, for the ultimate connection!
