FAQs
What wire gauge is this connector compatible with?
This connector is designed for 22-18 AWG wire.
What is the purpose of the transparent tubing?
The transparent tubing allows you to visually inspect the solder joint to ensure a proper connection.
Can I use a lighter to shrink the tubing?
While it's possible, a heat gun is recommended for more even and controlled heating. A lighter may lead to uneven shrinking and potential damage.
What is the best way to crimp the connector?
Use a crimping tool specifically designed for insulated terminals. This will ensure a secure and reliable connection.
Where can I use these connectors?
These connectors are suitable for automotive, marine, and general electrical applications.
How many connectors are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 connectors.
What color are the connectors?
The connectors have a red casing.
Do I need to solder these connectors?
Yes, these connectors require soldering for a secure connection. The solder is integrated into the connector.
Troubleshooting
Connector doesn't hold the wire securely.
Ensure proper crimping with the correct tool and check the wire gauge compatibility.
Heat shrink tubing is not shrinking properly.
Apply sufficient heat evenly around the tubing, using a heat gun or other suitable heat source.
Solder joint is weak or incomplete.
Ensure the solder melts and flows around the wire, and make sure the wire is clean before soldering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Strip the wire insulation to the correct length.
Insertion: Insert the stripped wire into the connector.
Crimping: Crimp the connector using the appropriate crimping tool.
Soldering: Apply heat to the connector to melt the solder.
Shrinking: Apply heat to the heat shrink tubing until it tightly seals around the wire.
Compatibility: Compatible with 22-18 AWG wire.
Care: Store in a dry place. Avoid over-heating the heat shrink tubing, as it could damage the wire insulation.
