Snotaul Goodman wrote: » Had a look at your build thread there. Buy yourself a good crimpers, wire strippers and a load of assorted crimp connectors. Much cheaper in a motor factors or electrical wholesalers than the likes of Halfords for connectors. Sit down and practice stripping and crimping with a few offcuts of cable. I had boxes and boxes of them connectors in the home house shed until my mother "accidentally" fired them into a skip during a clearout :mad: I told her when I moved out not to touch the shed! Ah well.

Snotaul Goodman wrote: » Any use? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WN-lBkjkAc Also [Electrician Snotaul] All those crimp connectors are colour coded to the size of cable needed. Red connector- 0.5mm2 to 1.5mm2 Blue- 1.5mm2 to 2.5mm2 Yellow- 4mm2 to 6mm2 [/Electrician Snotaul] You will probably come across all those cable sizes as you go on so no harm in learning cable sizes and matching connectors. It pretty easy once you get the hang of it. See if you can get hold of a few off-cuts of 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6mm2 cable and work with them. Even though I'm an electrician (well I was), I always find it difficult to explain certain things to people online Much easier when you're with them in person

Snotaul Goodman wrote: » That sounds good too. I don't really see much of a difference between using insulated or non insulated once you've heat shrank them. I find that insulated crimps tend to have a tighter connection to be honest (but that depends on the type of crimping tool you use too). Best of luck with it anyway. You'll pick it up in no time. If you think I can be of any help drop me a PM
toastedpickles wrote: » I've one of them draper multi tool things one of these exact yokes And it's not crimping the connection solid, I can nearly talk the wire back out so i'll figure something out, hopefully i will, id like to get the hang of wiring, also seriously appreciate the help If i can be of any use either, gimme a shout
Snotaul Goodman wrote: » No offence but I despise those type of crimpers but they might do the job on non insulated crimps. I prefer a ratchet crimpers such as Cheers dude. Will do! If the wire is still a bit loose with the crimper you're using it could mean that the crimp connector is too big. Try a smaller size or you can try a slight cowboy method of crimping it as tight as you can and then using a pliers to give it that extra squeeze to secure it. Try not make s**t of the connector though
toastedpickles wrote: » A friend of mine who is a hgv mechanic swore by them so i figured sure why not, but I'll look into getting one of them, knowing my luck I'll make bits of the connector though, heres a stupid question, does the wire need to be touching in the connector or does the connector act as like a bridge to both pieces?
Snotaul Goodman wrote: » Get one off ebay for a few quid. No such thing as a stupid question when it comes to electricity. As in should the wire be touching its connection point once its crimped? No. A good crimped connection looks like this whether it be a spade connector (which you're using), a lug (pictured) or any connector for that matter The bare copper shouldn't be exposed at all
toastedpickles wrote: » Perfect yeah that's pretty much what I was getting at, like here's one i just done, i think it's alright
Snotaul Goodman wrote: » Thats nearly spot on. Crimp the bottom part too. I should have mentioned that earlier. You'll need to crimp twice with your crimping tool. Once with a ratchet crimper. Should look something like this minus the exposed copper
