- Heat shrink butt connector
These Ancor butt connectors splice 16 to 14 gauge wire. Each one is adhesive lined and heat shrink, and the adhesive activates with heat to form a water-tight seal around the splice. The barrel is 100% tinned copper, which Ancor says holds off corrosion from salt or moisture, and it has a brazed seam for connector strength. They are made to the UL 486C standard for splicing wire connectors.
Our take
The heat activated adhesive lining is what makes these suited to a damp splice, because it shrinks into a water-tight seal rather than leaving a bare crimp. Tinned copper adds protection against salt and moisture. They only cover 16 to 14 gauge wire.
