Thanks, they look very useful.

Just wondered how you heat them so that the solder melts but the shrink sleeve doesn’t burn away.

Seen one YouTube clip of a guy using a small gas torch waved to and fro but I read elsewhere a hot air gun will melt the solder.

I’ll give some a try.

hi

oops , also forgot the video Whistle



does look like a heat gun will suffice but think the guy is just demonstrating it can also be done with a candle , lighter etc

will also get some and considering how many wires are in a Disco may come in handy Thumbs Up

I’ve ordered loads of stuff like this from China via eBay, never yet had a problem. Sometimes takes a few days, sometimes a couple of weeks, but it always gets delivered.

Hot air gas torch like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/PORTASOL-SUPER-CO...01N1PPJ6K/

Personally I've never got on with those solder splices, dont seem to be reliable. i prefer to splice my wires manually and then heatshrink over the top.

Thanks, i’ve got a small gas torch and a heat gun so I should be okay for a heat source.

Lineman's splice and solder, then heat-shrink for me.

that’s what i’ve normally used is a heat gun, find it very useful as it has the adjustable temperature dial so can be used for multiple applications

hopefully these solder heat shrink items are ok Thumbs Up

We have them at work, Ive played with them and have to say fiddly to use and I prefer the red/blue/yellow crimps with heatshrinks, fast, work well, good connecttion and waterproof.

It may be easier if you have a hot air gun as the flame variety makes it a game of chance whats going to melt first Very Happy

I tend to you use these:



crimp connection with adhesive in the end of each sleeve - makes for a strong and water tight connection and takes the pressure away from the wire crimp join itself
