Large heat shrink connectors

[Sunny]

Does anyone know if they do Heat Shrink Connectors larger than the 18-22 guage ...which I think are 5.5mm ?

If so who sells them ?

Cheers

I spent half an hour mooching about on RS Components website, but couldn't find any large heat shrink connectors.

Virtually all of the ones for sale on fleBay are from the USA; so I went onto the US - eBay Motors. There were tons of them, but none bigger than the white/yellow coloured size. If the spams don't do them then its unlikely they aren't made that big.

I wanted them to join the power cables on the windlass. Looks like I'll have to go back to normal connectors and paint them with latex sealant.

we've had that happen b4, web sites dont have every think on them.
id give them a ring m8. we have used some massive shrink wrap from them on big bow thrusters and winchs.

nick, there must be a boat yard in this neck of the woods who fit this equipment on a regular basis .. I would be trying somewhere like a decent yacht chandlers or an outfit doing electric motors for the boating brigade.

I'll see what Steve (Sharky) has got....

John (Monkeynuts)...yeah I see what you mean. I have plenty of large guage heat-shrink tubing. I was hoping they did these funky ones - but bigger

I've got a few, but have ordered some more; as well as a batch of the ring end connectors

They are really neat when finished and of course waterproof.

I hate those crimp things that Halfords sell...prone to bad contacts, coming apart and of course no good where water is present
