(9) These terminals provide a rugged, environmentally-sealed connection that will insulate, seal, and protect joints from physical abuse and abrasion, water, salt, and other corrosive compounds. Use of these terminals and splices will give you long lasting, moisture-proof connections that withstand water, salt, condensation, corrosion and heat, all of which cause serious problems for conventional unsealed splices. The inner wall of the heat-shrinkable nylon sleeve is lined with a special hot-melt adhesive which is inert at room temperature, permitting wires to be inserted easily into the terminals. As the sleeve is heated the adhesive melts and flows under pressure from the tubing. This action fills any existing voids and creates a seal which ...
