The twist method is here
Another is soldering them overlapped. I always get a few strands sticking out and piercing the heat shrink tubing...maybe it's takes better technique but is there a mechanical lug that can hold the two ends togehter that can be soldered? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I don't particularly like the FLAPS plastic covered connectors but I'm told I may not be compressing them correctly. Besides in a confined area with alot of wires, the connectors take up alot of room... What are you doing succesfully? |

I have become really fond of the crimp style connectors WITHOUT the plastic covering...
They are very small, and easy to deal with...plus, you can solder it up afterwards if you want... I have heard that solder connections in areas with high vibration are not the best choice...so the crimp style with solder seems to be the best of both worlds... And, If done right, once the heat shrink tubing is put on, you cant even tell there is a connector there... If found them at the hardware store...but I had never seen them before that... You may have to hunt around for them... Its basically the same company, and the same thing as the plastic covered crimp conectors, just without the plastic... Rich |
