Discuss waterproof crimp spade connectors with IP56 rating? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

Whilst on the subject of heat shrink.. What heat gun is recommended?
I remember using these on for shrinking joint boots on wiring looms years ago..
The guns we used then had a curved reflector to dissipate the hot air all around the subject.
 
Thank you for all the comments.

Agreed: heat shrink tubing in itself doesn't have an IP rating. But apparently (according to the link above), when applied correctly it does achieve an IP rating. Some of them of IP67, which is more than what I want. I just hadn't found this information before.

I will start using more glue lined heat shrink tubing :)
 
Make sure you are also using a decent Crimp Tool as well.
 
If it's 12v can't you just use a scotchlok type connector. The type that are filled with the silicon gel are meant for automotice and ELV marine applications
