Burndy YHSS10BG10 Heat Shrink Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The BURNDY YHSS10BG10 is a heat shrink terminal designed for use with 12 to 10 AWG wire. Heat shrink terminals combine a crimp connection with a built-in adhesive-lined heat shrink sleeve that seals the termination after installation. When heat is applied, the sleeve shrinks and bonds around the wire jacket, creating a moisture-resistant, strain-relieved connection. This type of terminal is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment service technicians wherever a reliable, sealed wire termination is required.

The YHSS10BG10 is suited for applications where connections may be exposed to moisture, vibration, or temperature cycling. Typical install scenarios include control wiring in HVAC equipment, marine and automotive harnesses, outdoor electrical enclosures, and low-voltage equipment panels. The 12-10 AWG range makes it compatible with common branch circuit and control circuit wire sizes used in residential and light commercial work.

Key Features

• Heat shrink sleeve with adhesive lining provides a moisture-resistant seal after termination
• Accepts 12 to 10 AWG wire for broad compatibility with control and branch circuit applications
• Crimp-style connection for a secure, low-resistance termination
• Strain relief built into the shrink sleeve reduces wire fatigue at the termination point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG conductors in electrical, HVAC, and equipment wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electricians or trained HVAC and equipment technicians. De-energize all circuits before terminating wires and verify with a meter before handling. Strip the wire to the depth specified for the terminal barrel, insert fully, and crimp with an appropriate ratcheting crimp tool. Apply heat evenly with a heat gun until the sleeve fully shrinks and adhesive flows, per NFPA 70 wiring practices.
