How to reinforce a Deans Ultra T plug using hot glue and shrink wrap

Deans plugs are great connectors and have been one of the most popular hobby connectors worldwide for a long time. Deans plugs can have quite a tight/firm fit which causes a substantial amount of load/stress on the wires, especially for smaller wires.

What you'll need:
  • Deans T plug (on wire)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Heat gun
  • Shrink wrap
Tools
Step 1

Apply hot glue - Don't over do it, the shrink wrap won't go over if there's too much hot glue.
