Installation Guide

Installing our 16-14 Heatshrink Butt Connectors is straightforward:

1. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires you wish to connect.
2. Insert the stripped wires into the butt connector until they reach the end.
3. Use a soldering iron or heat gun to apply heat evenly around the connector, causing the heatshrink tubing to contract and the adhesive to activate, forming a secure seal.
4. Allow the connector to cool for a few moments before handling.
