A wire connector for electrically connecting a pair of wires, allows crimping the wires in place and thereafter allows for soldering of the wires. A hollow sleeve, made from heat shrinkable polyolefin with a heat activated adhesive layer, is translucent and tinted and has a tubular-shaped solder member disposed therein. A body member, made from tin plated annealed copper, is disposed within the solder member. The body member has a channel having and a pair of spaced apart hoods the hoods providing a medial opening for visual inspection of the connected wires. A stop member is disposed within the channel. A first wire member is inserted into the channel until it abuts the stop member, while a second wire member, each wire member being either solid or stranded, is inserted into the opposite end of the channel until it abuts the stop member. The first hood and the second hood are each crimped thereby crimping their respective wires. Thereafter, the hollow sleeve is heated causing the solder member to melt and solder the two wires to the body member, while the hollow sleeve heat shrinks and recovers to the wire insulation providing a protective insulator with the adhesive providing a protective barrier.
