Wot-Nots Wiring Connectors – Red – Heat Shrink Butt – Pack of 2 (PWN513)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN513

Wot-Nots PWN513 is a pack of 2 red heat-shrink butt connectors: crimp the two wire ends in, then warm the sleeve so it shrinks and seals tight around the cable at both ends. Rated at 5A for thin cable, they make a weather-resistant joint for places like a reversing light lead or a door wire.

Good to know

• How do I shrink it without burning the wire? Use a heat gun on a low setting, moving it round the sleeve until it shrinks and grips; a lighter flame scorches the insulation.
• When is heat-shrink worth it over a plain butt? Anywhere damp, salty or oily: under the car, in the engine bay, at the tailgate and on trailers, where a plain joint would corrode.
• Can I crimp it with an ordinary crimper? Yes, but use the jaw for insulated terminals so the sleeve is not split; a split sleeve will not seal.
