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 usually tin each wire end individually and then overlap them and heat. Adding just a tiny bit of solder makes for a really nice connection. That will keep you from having wires sticking out. Flux is good, but just use a tiny amount. It will wick its way into the wire beneath the insulation, and allow the tinning to go under as well. This can (if not accounted for) make for a potentially brittle solder joint. To account for it, use longer strain relief and tie down the wires.
