Default Heatshrink for Spade Terminals

Does anyone happen to know what size heatshrink fits over 6.3mm spade terminals? I am planning to use uninsulated terminals then heatshrink over them to insultae them.

You can buy boots. Try someone like vehicle wiring products.

Personally I'm not a great fan of the boots. I plan to use adhesive lined heatshrink so that once the connection is made, the heatshrink will shrink down and give the wire extra support as well as insulating the terminal.

David

Did you ever find out what size heatshrink as needed?

I like the idea of doing it this way.
