I wanted to share this write-up/resource that I can across sometime ago that thoroughly talks about wire termination and the benefits of using heat shrink connections. The article has real like examples that demonstrate the unbelievable strength of heat shrink butt connectors. Also, what tools to use and what type of heat shrink work best is addressed. This is by far the most thorough and complete write-up I have come across and was what really got me into buying high quality heat shrink connectors. Article at:
