I know about the existence of connectors for RG0400-like coax cables, but are there similar connectors for small diameter wires like 18AWG shielded Tefzel wires? I hate the resulting "lump" in the wire when I try to connect shield and core wires using butt-splice connectors, and the shrink-wrap never seems to contract nicely around the wires afterwards.



Thanks for ideas.

Neil

		If the lump in the wire bothers you, then the best method of

connecting two wires is to solder them, there is a good tutorial in the

Aeroelectric Connection.  Be sure to use a shrink tubing size just large

enough to pass over the wires and the soldered connection.  If shrink tubing

of too large size is used, it will, in fact, not shrink down to the wire for

a nice neat joint.
