Ancor 314399 heat shrink spade terminals are a top - notch choice. These 16 - 14 #10 terminals come in a pack of 100. They are tinned to resist corrosion, made of pure copper for optimal current flow, and feature a brazed seam for great strength. They're UL listed and CSA recognized. The heat shrink connectors have a heat - activated adhesive in the tubing sleeve. When heated, they form a watertight seal and offer excellent vibration and strain relief. Each terminal in the package has a height of 1.250 inches, a width of 2.690 inches, a length/depth of 4.380 inches, and weighs 4.750 ounces.
Using these Ancor heat shrink spade terminals is easy. First, select the right terminal for your wire size (16 - 14 #10). Slide the terminal onto the stripped end of your wire. Then, use a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the heat shrink tubing. As it heats up, the adhesive inside will melt and create a tight, watertight seal. When using a heat gun, keep it moving to avoid overheating. Also, make sure the area is well - ventilated. For maintenance, store the terminals in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If you notice any signs of damage, like cracks in the heat shrink tubing, replace the terminal to ensure a safe and reliable connection.
