Common Concerns Answered
Will these terminals work with smaller gauge wires in the 22-18 AWG range?
While designed for 22-18 AWG, some users report difficulty in achieving a consistently secure crimp on the smaller end of this range without proper crimping tools and technique.
Does the heat shrink tubing always seal effectively?
Achieving a complete and reliable seal with the heat shrink tubing is dependent on using an appropriate heat gun and applying sufficient, even heat to the tubing for full shrinkage.
Are these terminals completely waterproof after installation?
The waterproof rating is contingent on proper installation; sufficient heat application to the shrink tubing and ensuring adequate overlap will create a robust seal, preventing water ingress.
