Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the correct heat-shrink size?

Choose tubing that slides over the unshrunk connection and recovers tightly around the finished joint. Check supplied and recovered diameters, shrink ratio, wall type and whether adhesive lining is required for sealing.

Which terminal type should I use?

Match the terminal to conductor cross-section, insulation requirement and the equipment connection. Bootlace ferrules suit many screw-clamp terminals; open-barrel and pre-insulated terminals require their corresponding crimp profile.

Do I need a dedicated crimping tool?

Yes. A matched ratchet crimper or specified die produces a repeatable mechanical and electrical connection. Pliers or an incorrect die can damage the terminal and create a high-resistance joint.
