HEAT SHRINK SOLDER JOINTS

Add a 1" length of heat shrink to each solder joint 
and use a heat source to shrink the insulation over 
the solder joints and wires.

   TIPS ON HEAT SHRINKING

1.

 Heat shrink is used 

to insulate an 
electrical connection, 
like a solder joint, to 
prevent the connection 
from shorting. 

2.

 Slide the heat shrink 

all the way up to the 
switch, completely 
covering the solder joint 
and solder lug.

3.

 Wave the flame from 

a lighter or the tip of a 
soldering iron near the 
positioned heat shrink 
until the wrap constricts 
to a firm hold. Allow
heat shrink to cool.
