    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.

    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.

    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.

      Solder, not Sodder? The Story behind the Silent (or not so Silent) L
      May 15, 2015 Sam 0 Comments
      |ˈsɒldə(r)| and |ˈsəʊdə(r)|
      The word solder originates in Middle English. The Latin origin is the word solidaire, meaning to “to make solid,” which is where the -l- in solder comes from.
      Solidaire (v.) - to join, be united, standing together, or interdependent.
      The word more immediately comes from the Anglo-French word soudure. This Anglo French word is similar to the contemporary French verb souder. The word eventually evolved in English to its current spelling.

      @@johnh9243 Working in the Middle East a dozen or so years ago I was affectionately (I think) known as the 15 minute expert maker.
      Senior staff would often wander into my office in a panic saying they had a meeting later that day and one of the topics was X - could I give them a page long summary on what it was and why we had to have it. Basically, give them enough info to make it sound like they knew what they were talking about, in just 15 minutes.
      Many of these requests were outside my field, but the internet is a wonderful thing.
      One such request went like this - "we've been offered a solution that uses dark fibre, but I don't know what it is. Can you do me a couple of pages?"
      "I can tell you now"
      "No, I don't have time . I need a couple of pages that I can scan through while the Great Dane is giving his opening speech"
      "Okay"
      Dark fibre was fibre optic cable that was already installed, managed by a third party, just waiting to be "lit".
      I could have told him in a few seconds, but no, he wanted a 2 page summary.
      So I gave him his 2 page summary, however the first page and a half covered dark fibre in sheep. A condition that turns fibres in the wool of sheep in Australia a dark colour.
      I heard from someone else in the meeting that he was visibly flustered as he started reading through the cheat sheet.

    Can you add two or three wires to one end and more than one to the other end and then solder?

    • @customdynamics
      @customdynamics  Год назад +3

      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✋
