Common Concerns Answered
What if the heat shrink tubing doesn't seal properly?
Ensure consistent heat application across the entire tubing surface using a heat gun on a medium setting. Avoid direct, prolonged heat in one spot, and allow adequate cooling time. If issues persist, confirm your heat source is adequate for the tubing's properties.
Is the terminal pad wide enough for thicker 16-14 AWG wires?
The 0.55" terminal pad width is designed for standard 16-14 AWG wire configurations. For exceptionally thick or stranded wires within this range, ensure proper conductor stranding and crimping technique to maintain a secure connection.
How does the price compare to non-heat shrink options?
While non-heat shrink terminals may have a lower upfront cost, the added benefit of a sealed, corrosion-resistant connection provided by these Pacer heat shrink terminals offers superior long-term reliability and reduced maintenance, which is critical in marine environments.
