The easiest way is to strip the wires, then slide one wire right through the connecter and then twist the wires together and then slide the connector back over the wires and center it and heat until solder melts, much easier than fan the wire out and then trying to get it in the connector.
Wrong. By twisting the wires you squeeze them together and the solder has difficulty penetrating the full depth. Think like putting a sponge you are squeezing into water how the water can't soak in.
@@docthebiker Wrong. There's no way the twist a gapless, not to mention even if the solder doesn't penetrate it all it will DEFINITELY hold the twist together. The end.
I need to join 22 and 10 for a rv camera. The large size? Plus I have to do this above my head about 10' off the ground on a homemade scaffold. Maybe I can tape the wires up while using the heat gun. Need three hands.
For what it's worth... using a more traditional approach might work better considering your somewhat unique circumstances. Regular crimp type butt connectors with a marine grade shrink tube over the connector. There are special "crimp type" butt connectors known as "steps" which allow you to connect different size wiring. They make a yellow to blue and also a blue to red. In your case, you may need to use one of each along with a short piece 16 AWG, but you will have a properly mated connection. I use them when converting automotive incandescent (usually 16 ga) to L.E.D. (Usually 24 ga). 🤓✌️
But you didn't say what temperature to set the heat gun at. If it's too hot it will burn the connection and leave it weak and if it's too cold it will leave it too delicate and flimsy, meeting the adhesive and solder will not melt properly. And which do you set it at higher blower or lower speeds
Im guessing these would not be suitable for connecting wires somewhere like an engine bay? this was my original plan but now im worried the solder will melt in the engine bay.

We offer three different size connectors (12-10 AWG, 16-14 AWG, 22-18 AWG). So, depending on the size wire you are using for your project it would certainly be possible to insert more than one wire if the connector is larger than your wire.
My replies been instantly erased! maybe the 1 working way to reproduce actual melting of (silver btw) sotter is to get an extended bic lighter hold that directly under sotter area of connector gizmo with long pliers, not over anything - & hold expanded bic(2” plastic extender type) under it for a while(like a full minute) bic butane flames are hotter✋
Thanks for the effort of making this video. Very informative and helpful
The easiest way is to strip the wires, then slide one wire right through the connecter and then twist the wires together and then slide the connector back over the wires and center it and heat until solder melts, much easier than fan the wire out and then trying to get it in the connector.
Thanks fam. will take note

@@docthebiker The manufacturers instructions clearly state this way is correct, but yes, you know better!
Great video
Nice sodder joint.
Needed an up close view.
Why 😂 if you’re on phone use your fingers and zoom in gives you as close of view as you’ll ever need!
Can #12 solid be connected to #12 stranded with these connectors (or basically any solid to stranded). ? Thnx.
It should work as you described. You would still want to overlap the two wire ends where the solder melts.
EXCELLENT VIDEO....THANKS!!😊

@@dalelange845 I finally found the right connector and got it all working. Very proud of myself.

Whay temp are you suppose to use on the gun?
We used the highest setting, you'll need a minimum of 280°F
TY from CA👍
Can you add two or three wires to one end and more than one to the other end and then solder?
We offer three different size connectors (12-10 AWG, 16-14 AWG, 22-18 AWG). So, depending on the size wire you are using for your project it would certainly be possible to insert more than one wire if the connector is larger than your wire.
Who ever thought of this was a genius.
I didnt see the sotter melt ? whats that look like? ✋🤔
The solder turns to a liquid at 2:02 in the video when the color of the solder darkens.

I had some of these in my truck in Tucson in the summer, they melted.
Def heat gun. Hair dryer didn’t work for me. Didn’t melt the solder.
Is Sodder like Solder? 🤫
😂
Love the video, but why do Americans insist on making the "L" in "solder" silent?
What are you, a colonel or something?

Cut a fuckin wire trying to disassemble my vacuum cleaner. Gonna get these and hope I can fix it.
