Value Collection BOW-71817F Crimp Bullet Connector 20-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-71817F is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for splicing and terminating 20 to 18 AWG wire. The connector features a red heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve that shrinks over the crimp zone to provide a moisture-resistant, strain-relieved termination. The 0.18-inch bullet diameter is a standard size used across low-voltage automotive, marine, HVAC control wiring, and general electrical applications. Installation requires a standard crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in this wire gauge range. These connectors are sold with a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where a secure inline or branch connection is needed on 20 to 18 AWG conductors. The heat shrink sleeve activates with a heat gun after crimping, creating an environmental seal around the barrel. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and marine installers commonly use this style of bullet connector when making quick, reliable low-voltage connections in control circuits, sensor leads, and accessory wiring harnesses.

Key Features

• Accepts 20 to 18 AWG wire for a broad range of light-gauge applications
• 0.18-inch bullet diameter fits standard bullet receptacle connectors
• Red heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides moisture resistance after heat activation
• Crimp connection type eliminates solder for fast, repeatable terminations in the field
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp bullet connector for use with 20 to 18 AWG wire in low-voltage control, automotive, marine, and general electrical wiring applications where a 0.18-inch bullet diameter is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or compression crimp tool rated for insulated bullet terminals in the 20 to 18 AWG range. Strip wire to the connector manufacturer-recommended strip length before inserting into the barrel. After crimping, apply heat evenly with a heat gun to fully shrink the insulation sleeve. De-energize and lock out all circuits before making or breaking connections.
