I've seen these style crimps for a while and none of them seem to have any proper spec's to suggest voltage and current rating - has anyone on here investigated?
 
absolute shyte. the plastic melts before the solder. so yo end up with a blob of burnt plastic on a bead of unmelted solder.
 
I have used them on 12v cables before with no problems. Last time I used some of the white ones when a rabbit nibbled through a charger lead. Don't try and melt them with a flame, as tel says you will end up with a horrible blob of goo, heat gun will do it just right. Don't think I would trust them on 230v!
 
Yes, we've used solder sleeves for a long time but we buy from a reputable supplier like RS Components and they come with a spec sheet giving voltage/current/dielectric/temp ratings. If you buy the no name EBay specials they're a fraction of the price but you take your chance when it comes to specs.
