Looking for a source for 10-12 and 14-16 .250 AWG female flag (90 degree) crimp-on insulated connectors.
I've done a lot of searching (digikey, amazon, waytek, etc...) and I keep coming up with connectors that appear to have little-to-no crimping "meat" on the leg where the wire inserts. It looks like it's all insulation and the they get crimped in-line with the female connector instead of "around the corner" on the 90. How do I crimp these - I have a Klein 3005CR crimper...do they fit? Thank you! |

Some may not appreciate my opinion, but I would never use the pre-insulated terminals on automotive wiring. One of my personal pet peeves about automotive wiring repairs.
-They are not factory correct, for several good technical reasons -They do not provide stress relief to the wire -They are foreign to automotive wiring -The insulation conceals corrosion and makes access impossible to burnish the terminal -The different available colors should be used to mean something but they just look bad, like some kind of little girls play jewelry -The insulation is only useful for power wires to keep them from shorting out to a ground condition. Old school method was to use heat shrink over the terminal to insulate it. I dont like to insulate them at all because the insulation conceals corrosion which is inaccessible to burnish. Just turn off the power when moving terminals around. -Did I mention they look bad? |
