I have often found that loose contacts are caused by the underneath notch of the terminal pin being insufficient allowing the spring to come forward. Look at 3:17 where it can be seen that the notch at the tip appears to be 'catching' the end of the spring okay. Playing around with pliers can also sometimes round of the tip allowing the spring also to come forward.
The underneath notch of the terminal can be improved, or restored, with careful use of a hacksaw, But a better notch does not stop the spring from moving forward. Usually the spring is pushed by insulation tape or rough crimping catching on the back end of the spring.
@@jonatansnead1677 I bought a batch of cheap copies and they had bad notches. I watched further in the video and saw the hacksaw mod but this would have been a bit tricky on mine. I also learned early on to keep an eye on insulation pushing the spring forward. I have decided that the Anderson plugs are not my preferred option but unfortunately there is no other suitable choice. Best to buy a good known brand name of them as they seem to be better at assembly than the copies. Pushing insulation over the plug itself is out, solder is not much good and the best success I found was to make sure the wire completely filled the crimp (select the right gauge) and do a good crimp that doesn't distort the crimp area.
Great video thanks, lots of helpful visual info.
Nicely done - great help to setup my first Brad Harrison connector - Thanks a lot

Super vídeo. Very, very util.
Great video
What is the biggest wire size (AWG) for the 50Amps
6 AWG is the maximum that normally fits into the terminal. But there are differences between various brands and the terminal dimensions may vary.
Thank you!!
gooood
