Ancor 22-18 Female Heatshrink Disconnect - 100-Pack

The Ancor 22-18 Female Heatshrink Disconnect 100-Pack is the backbone of reliable electrical termination on any vessel. Whether you're wiring a new console, replacing corroded connections, or building out a complete electrical harness, these heat-shrink connectors deliver the sealed, vibration-resistant joints that saltwater and freshwater environments demand. After years on the water, any experienced angler knows that a single failed connection can kill an entire day—or worse. Ancor's engineered solution eliminates that risk by combining heat-activated adhesive with durable heatshrink tubing.

These female disconnect connectors accommodate 22–18 gauge wire, making them versatile across most marine electrical applications. The heat-activated adhesive built into the heatshrink sleeve creates a watertight seal when heated, while the shrinking action itself provides both vibration damping and strain relief—critical where engine vibration and wave motion constantly test wire joints. Tinned copper contacts resist corrosion far better than bare copper, a feature that pays dividends in saltwater environments where oxidation can silently degrade conductivity. The 100-pack volume ensures you have spares for repairs and redundancy for complex installations, saving trips back to the tackle shop.

Serious boaters, commercial fishermen, and DIY marine electricians rely on Ancor disconnects for everything from bilge pump wiring to trolling motor circuits and navigation light harnesses. Installation is straightforward: strip 1/4 inch of insulation, insert the wire into the female connector, apply heat with a shrink gun or lighter, and watch the adhesive-lined tubing conform to a permanent, waterproof seal. The female configuration pairs with corresponding male spade terminals, giving you a modular approach to wiring that simplifies troubleshooting and future modifications. Stock these in your vessel's electrical repair kit and enjoy the confidence that comes with connections built to last.
