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.

For a detailed installation process, refer to our Quick Guide (PDF).
