[time-nuts] Connectors

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

OK, so we seem to have:

1)  Scotch 130 rubber tape
2)  Scotch 33 electrical tape
3)  Scotchkote

in that order.

So the rubber tape waterproofs
the connection and the scotch kote
protects it from UV, so what does
the electrical tape do?

Or maybe, the electrical tape does
the waterproofing and the rubber tape
just keeps goo off the connector.  But
of course, that can be done with the well
known technique of winding the connector
with electrical tape adhesive side out.

Do we know that the rubber tape is not UV
proof?

Or none of the above.

Can someone in the know clarify this?

Thanks,

Rick
