What is the Raychem solder?

Raychem’s Solder Sleeve one-step, heat-shrinkable wire and cable interconnection devices are a labor saving alternative to conventional wire and cable termination methods such as craft-sensitive, time-consuming, hand soldering or crimping. They consist of a heat-shrinkable sleeve and a premeasured, fluxed solder band.

What is solder sleeve?

Solder sleeves are primarily used to attach a ground wire (lead) to the shielding braid of a shielded cable by means of a shrinkable tubing assembly having an integral solder preform. Solder sleeves are also used to splice two or more conductors together in a parallel configuration.

Are heat shrink connectors any good?

The heat shrink is very nice and shrinks down tight on the conductor. There is some type of melting material in these that flows when heated and fills all the interstitials inside the connection. This makes for a very good complete termination or splice.

Are solder sleeves good?

Solder Sleeves are the perfect, safes, and economical solution to join/Splice two wires together. The outer polyolefin tubing and hot melt adhesive in the inside solder provides a highly advanced waterproof seal connection.

How do you heat shrink tubing?

Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing. Keep the heat gun moving back and forth along the length of tubing, as staying in one place can damage the wire even further. Continue heating the tubing until it is tightly secured to the wire.
