Soldering Supplies / Heatshrink

Our favourite method of connecting any wires up when installing a reversing camera system is the trusty old solder. This is a convenient tube of 1.2mm lead free soldering wire with a melt point of 228C.  Total length is 180CM.  

Insulation tape can be used for:

• Covering an internal solder/crimp joint to avoid accidentally exposing the wires inside.
• Wrapping around non screw locking connections eg phono RCA to avoid the connectors accidentally separating.
• Cable tidying by wrapping around cables that you want to keep together (please be aware that if you ever want to take them apart afterwards there may be a sticky adhesive residue - re-usable hook and loop cable ties may be a better option if you plan to remove at some point)

We prefer adhesive lined heat shrink versus non adhesive lined. The added advantages are that the connection is moistureproof and the heatshrink will never move position to expose the wires underneath.

This is a low cost option for people needing a soldering iron for making connections to vehicle electrics. Soldering is always our preferred option for long lasting, reliable connections, especially when combined with our adhesive lined heat shrink to protect the joint (although you can use our insulation tape for joints made in dry areas).

This is a nice simple heat gun, supplied with 5 directional hot air flow nozzles. Our customers use this when heat shrinking the connections - either some tube heat shrink over a solder joint, or one of the new solder seal wire connectors.

This is an ideal automatic wires stripper tool for stripping back most cables encountered during an installation.  It makes stripping wires quicker and easier.
