This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Solder Sleeve category on DigiKey.com
Solder Sleeves are small, hollow pieces of heat shrinkable tubing that have rings of solder incorporated into them. As they are heated, the tubing shrinks making a mechanical bond between the wires inserted into them. At the same time, the solder melts forming an electrical connection, securely splicing wires together. Coming in a variety of diameters and lengths with special features such as environmental resistances and pre-installed lead wires, solder sleeves are suitable for a wide range of wire sizes and applications.
