Good or Garbage? Wire Splicing with Solder Sleeves.

It's not just any heat shrink tube - it's a genius invention with a solder ring inside. Simply slide the wires in, apply heat, and voila! Your work is complete.

Used to work in a factory that made cables for the military. These were the only kind of wire splices we were allowed to make past a certain gauge so they must be good! Also the requirement was to simply place the conductors next to each other when joining - we were not allowed to intertwine them as is shown here.

They're a great bit of kit. I'm a military avionics engineer and we use them on Eurofighter Typhoon

Second post . I own a great Weller 100/140 watt soldering gun and three soldering irons. Work as an industrial electrician and have not soldered any wires in last 15 years . Many years ago soldered think it was 17 circuit boards while building a 25" Healthkit color TV, a scope, radio, tube & transistor tester.

I’m in the oil industry and we are not allowed splices unless it’s on SR or MI heat trace.
All wiring must go from A to B unbroken.
Or, be in a JB on terminal strips where it’s able to be disconnected

[sergiofernandez]

They have an MI (Military Spec) version. They are almost as good as a cable with no joints at all.

I would love to see how these hold up under a super heavy load. They look fantastic, very clean and the solder spread seems good.

No wire should have strain on it. But i think, these things are more capable than just crimping. Especially in low voltage applications, where the voltage drop hurts more. A comparison of the resistance between crimping and this things would be interresiting.

I frequently repair or scrap appliances, occasionally scrap vehicles. Everytime I've come across these types of connectors, they seemed very robust.

El video más satisfactorio que vi hoy! Es genial!

Used these on motorbike wiring looms and they've worked a treat but I prefer to solder my own connections if I have to solder or I'd use a wago instead in normal installs

[AntonyoKnight]

I loved the last moment, the force test. It reminds my morning "session " 😂

[scottl]

Used these a lot on marine wiring and also my solar set up that I am building up slowly in my summer house. I would have to see some testing but at a push I may use it on a lighting circuit but an inline Wago would go a lot further.
Btw I love to solder my wires and cables if I can. With heat shrink on top. It’s been a joint used for years but under stress solder can crack and break. It’s depends on the instal.
Best regards,
Scott. ✌️🙏✌️

I really can't see how it is possible to make a better joint between two stranded wires.

[andycrask]

Great work jumping on the bandwagon reviewing these.

[cypeman]

I’ve seen these used for years, on YouTube.
On cars I wouldn’t have a problem, but in my house?
Look forward to your opinions.

[bradleyj.]

I wonder how they'd hold up with the heat back on after it's been soldered

[davepusey]

Used these in my car. Admittedly that's only 12 volts, but they've worked great for me.

[demonkey]

How hot does the connector have to be to re-flow the solder? I’ve seen people installing these with a cigarette lighter!

Was Gordon relieving himself? That's a face of constipation 😂.
