Ancor 315225 Heat Shrink Spade Terminal is a top - notch choice for your wiring needs. This pack contains 25 pieces of 12 - 10 #8 terminals. The terminals 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, ensuring high - quality standards. The heat shrink tubing has a built - in heat - activated adhesive. When heated, it forms a watertight seal, providing excellent vibration and strain relief. Product specifications include a height of 0.630 inches, width of 2.690 inches, length/depth of 4.380 inches, and weight of 2.080 ounces per piece in the package.
Using these Ancor heat shrink spade terminals is easy. First, strip the end of your 12 - 10 gauge wire. Slide the terminal onto the exposed wire. Then, use a heat gun to apply heat evenly to the heat shrink tubing. As the tubing shrinks, the adhesive inside will melt and form a strong, watertight connection. When using the heat gun, keep it moving to avoid overheating one spot. Also, make sure the area is well - ventilated. For maintenance, store these 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 reliable electrical connection.
