Eventronic Solder connector, 4 different sizes, shrink connector, butt connector, crimp connector, cable connector, 100 pieces, solder connector set, assortment.

I needed some butt connectors for a wiring project I had planned.Originally I was going to buy just the few I needed but soon realised that it wasn't an economical way at 50p a connector!I decided to go for this 200 piece set for only £15.99; this works out at around 8p per connector, much better value.At this price I wasn't holding out for great quality but I have been pleasantly surprised. The plastic feels very hard but once crimped and heated it shrinks down nicely, creating a permanent bond between the two pieces of cable. The adhesive flows well and I am very confident with the bond produced.The organiser box they come in is also very handy as they all live safely in my toolbox (gone are the days of scraping the bottom for that one piece you desperately need!)You get the following sizes and quantities:Red 90pcs 22-18 AWGBlue 90pcs 16-14 AWGYellow 20pcs 12-10 AWGOverall I am very impressed with these connectors, buy with confidence!

Now, here's a thing. For the first time in my life I spotted something on Facebook and clicked the link and eventually ended up buying these.And just as I got them my mole man cut through the wire around my garden for my robot needind a bit of a repair. This I figured would be a nice test.And just as the advertising shows these are really easy and best of all properly secure both mechanically and electrically.Just cut back the two ends to be joined, slip over a silder ferrule, push the wires together and then cover with teh ferrule. Bit of heat and bingo! A joined wire. The only thing I did extra was to put a bit of soldering paste on the wires which seemed to be sensible to me.Anyway, these do work well and are dead simple to use.

I've used a number of patterns for joining wires, such as crimp/heat shrink and Spade connectors, but these a far better.Simply insert wires in each end of the connector and then use heat to shrink the connector to reach wire and then more heat to melt the solder in the middle. I used the heat connector on my gas soldering iron but I imagine a heat gun will work too.I used them to re-wire a trailer and the connections are really strong.

Used to later wiring on my car. Accurate copper tube connector much better than flimsy thin-walled types. Heat shrink + adhesive makes a sound water-resistant joint. The metal tube part is a bit short for some standard crimp pliers so a narrow type would be the best to use.

Just had to deploy these for the first time to fix my MacBook DC cable....really neat and easy to use. They seemed plenty strong enough when I gave them a gentle tug....I think there must be heat activated adhesive inside the sleeves.At first I thought that the solder hadn't melted but when I took a closer look it had worked OK....I have a temperature variable heat gun but was a little disappointed that there wasn't a temperature instruction on the box so had to google it.

This may have changed my life. My other halfs dad mentioned that solder heat shrink existed and that they used to use it at BAE and I decided I had to buy some, it makes automotive wiring jobs so much easier and leaves a secure professional finish. So far I have used to for fitting a secondary fuse box and sat nav to a motorcycle and to fit a new tailgate to a range rover (lots of cut wires there). Unlike normal heat shrink you can't really get away with using a lighter but a heat gun worked brilliantly. This is now an invaluable part of my toolbox.

A good system for joining cables.

These are brilliant although I really only have a use for the small ones (red and white) for auto electrics. Be sure to melt the white rings as these are glue that hold the wire in place. Dipping wires in flux, although not necessary, does help the solder flow. A mini heat-gun is the ideal tool to shrink the sleeve, soften the glue and melt the solder. If you do it properly, it's a good mechanical join and the solder provides a good electrical connection.
