Heat Shrink Solder Sleeve 4-6Mm2 20Pcs YT-81443 YATO

The YATO Heat Shrink Solder Sleeves YT-81443 are designed for creating durable and waterproof connections for electrical wires. Each sleeve features a center ring of tin and two rings of thermal glue, enhancing the seal of the connection.

• Transparent heat shrink tubing:
  • For wire cross-section: 4-6 mm², 12-10 AWG
  • Tube length: 40 mm
  • Internal diameter: 6 mm
  • Melting point of solder binder: 105°C
  • Temperature for shrinking the sheath: 80°C
  • Pack of 20 pieces

  This is a quick and easy solution for a reliable and waterproof electrical wire connection.

  PE vs PVC and other differences:

  The YATO heat shrink solder sleeves are made from polyethylene (PE), featuring the right amount of solder binder and hot glue rings. The advantages of PE sleeves over PVC include:

  • Higher shrink ratio: PE's ratio is 3:1 compared to PVC's 2:1, enabling better coverage around the cable or allowing for easier use with larger diameter tubes.
  • Maintained flexibility even in sub-zero temperatures; PVC can stiffen and crack in the cold.
  • Higher resistance to abrasion, punctures, and chemicals.

PE sleeves are not only suitable for home use but are also effective in environments where weather conditions, such as low temperatures, are a factor. They are ideal for high-temperature areas, such as in a car's engine compartment.

The use of a proper amount of solder binder in YATO brand solder sleeves ensures a secure and effective solder joint. The solder flows between the wires, creating a strong and reliable connection. Cheaper alternatives often use insufficient amounts of tin, which may not withstand long-term usage, especially in larger cross-sections.

Lastly, the sealing adhesive used in YATO sleeves is a specially formulated, well-known hot glue. Once cured, it retains a degree of elasticity and does not degrade over time. Some inexpensive products use EVA plastic that may seal the joint initially, but they degrade quickly in weather-exposed areas.
