See above.
SOME of those were made in a mold. Some actually have the wire wrapped around the end like the originals. This is usually on the 1 watt and larger, which I usually use a 9 to 10 watt resistor inside. Heat must be controlled since the bodies of MOST are plastic. I have melted one in a circuit, but it was a fault rater than function.
P.S. IT IS IMPORTANT to note at this time that black automotive tubing is CONDUCTIVE. Yah, ask me how I know. It did seem like the perfect cover for those old AK power leads like in the 55s and 60s - NOT!
