Automotive manufacturers over the past 50-odd years have consistently created effective and airtight terminal installations by crimping or deforming terminals' barrels to capture the wire strands.

For a crimp that’s strong, the wire diameter must match the connector using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) standard. The wire size is marked on the spool and the insulation. To make matchups easy, the ...

We use tinned stranded wire with “marine-grade” jackets, crimp-ons with heat-shrink insulation, and for the best protection we will try to get just a little solder into the open end of the crimp.

Crimp terminals allow the wires to flex and prevents them from breaking. Soldering can cause the wire to become brittle and break.” With no disrespect to anyone, soldering a wire terminal ...

This is the ACCEL 300+ Pro Crimp tool, which comes with three separate sets of dies. One set is for spark-plug wire terminals, and the other two are for crimping primary wire.

The wire is wrapped around the terminal in about one-tenth of a second. Crimping Stranded and insulated wire are crimped with ease; even coaxial cable and flexible flat cable pose no serious problem.

Crimped terminal pins are helpful. Sure, you can slip wires under the screw-down terminals, but Roy’s technique using crimped terminal pins makes for quick and easy insertion. It also prevents any ...

A solder seal butt connector for 10-12 gauge wire. Solder seal butt connectors are made of a clear, heat shrink tube, with a low temperature solder ring in the middle.
