How to Get the Best 12V Electrical Connection with Heat Shrink Terminals

In a 12-volt DC environment (automotive, marine, trailer, auxiliary power, etc.) poor connections cause voltage drop, heat, corrosion, intermittent faults and early failure. For example: loose wire-to-terminal contact = higher resistance → more power loss → heat → oxidation → further degradation. A robust terminal solution reduces resistance, limits ingress of moisture/contaminants and resists vibration […]

Understanding the Different Types of Loom

There are many different types of loom, understanding the right type of loom for your project will help to ensure your wiring will last. Using loom is important to protect exposed wires and cables from foreign debris, the harsh environment, and high vibration areas. Some of the different types we will look at are: Split, […]
