Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connectors 22-18 AWG Marine Grade

Ancor Marine Grade heat shrink butt connectors are adhesive-lined butt splice connectors for joining two wires in boats, vehicles, trailers and other outdoor or wet environments. Each connector has nylon insulation and a heat-activated adhesive liner inside the tubing. When heated, the tubing shrinks and seals the splice against moisture. They are also sold as heat shrink butt splices or waterproof crimp connectors.

Key Features:

• Adhesive-lined heat shrink: The heat-activated adhesive in the sleeve forms a watertight seal and gives vibration and strain relief.
• Marine grade nylon insulation: Resists sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration and cut-through damage.
• Cross-linked polyolefin tubing: Stronger than PVC tubing and does not burn like PVC.
• High shrink ratio: The tubing shrinks to about one-third of its original size. It shrinks at 257°F (125°C).
• Tinned pure copper barrel: Tinning resists corrosion, and the copper carries current well.
• Brazed seam: Adds strength to the barrel.
• Certified: UL Listed and CSA Recognized.

Crimp the connector onto the stripped wire ends, then apply heat until the tubing shrinks and the adhesive flows. The result is a sealed, corrosion-resistant splice. Ancor is a well-known name in marine electrical products.
