Review on πŸ”Œ Set of 200 Haisstronica 18-16 Green Solder Seal Wire Connectors - Waterproof, Heat Shrink Butt Connectors for Watercraft, Electrical, Electronics, Marine and Stereo Applications by Owoeye Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not replace actual soldering

In my tests, the solder hardly melted. I ended up using some resin flux on the wires and the solder still barely flows. Also, the slightest movement while cooling will result in a weak physical connection. This is not a substitute for actual soldering and covering with waterproof heat shrink tubing and hardly counts as soldering in my opinion. Insert two 14 AWG wires into the device, although I figured it should have worked without removing the gasket material. Also, the unit took so much heat and time to melt the solder - I used a 1500w heat gun - there is a risk of burning the heat shrink and any wire you run has a high chance of damaging the waterproof material pierce and leave it useless. Crimp connectors with waterproof heat shrink coating.

Pros
  • QUICK AND EASY APPLICATION: All you need is a heat gun to control the temperature and join the part even in tight spots. This product requires no soldering or crimping, making it easier and less expensive than standard soldering iron heat shrink connectors.
Cons
  • Only available in white
