Great tutorial!! Thank you. You're one of the best presentations with a clean background that makes everything clear. My only additional comment...when using the connector in a real application, slide the connector over one wire until the end protrudes, twist or splice the ends together, slide the connector into place, continue from there. Maybe obvious to EVERYONE else, but I twisted my wires together and then blankly stared at it for a moment with the Sopoby connector in my hand. Yep, I'm really smart.
I have done that with heat shrink myself, and anyone who says they have never done the same type of thing isn't telling the truth. Still, I should have demonstrated a bit better. Thanks for the comment!
I use these on my boat and trailer electronics with great success. I use a torch and once you figure out how to not burn anything they're fast and secure. The only thing I do differently is go with the sopoby recommendation of meshing the wires in a straight line. Nice video.
I have a torch, but I hate using it as I don't want to burn anything. I suppose moderation is the key. I didn't see where Sopoby recommended meshing the wires, but I know that is a good method as well as doesn't create as much of a bulge in the center. Where did you see their recommendation?
Is it waterproof? I mean they'll of course say it is, but I want to hear comment from real people that uses them on a boat.
Sopoby, the manufacturer, doesn't provide any instructions for use, so your video is a great service to those of us trying out this method of splicing wires with solder and a weather-proof seal using Sopoby products. Thanks for making this video. So far, my experience has been pretty good, although I discovered that if you use a Butane mini-torch, you can burn the plastic and melt holes in it, although the solder itself works pretty well if you are sure it has melted on all sides of the joint - it will be shiny everywhere it has melted.
Glad it helped, and thanks for the tip. I try not to use direct flame when doing this, for the reasons you mentioned.
Works best in tight areas with a small butane solder gun/blower/torch, plus you can direct the heat better and get better penetration of solder into wires, without the worry about getting things you don't won't heated down with the large heat gun!
Great point! But I always worry about burning the wires and heatshrink. What kind of flame should I set the torch to and how far should I hold it from the area to be connected? I suppose I could experiment...but it would be good to know if you have experience.
Well I appreciate seeing how to do this. Helping hands never help me, lol I'm always repairing wires in place, so they would just be in the way. I think a square know would add a ridiculous amount of bulk to the connection. Keep it simple. A wrap , or a hook like you did.
I used it on indicator lights that blew and had to rewrite connection block to wire loom , worked perfectly , for this application it’s great maybe for high voltage connections maybe not. 12 volt application perfect.
Great video... thanks. Good advice and excellent demo of how to solder using these helpful devices and a good test of their perfromance. Well done!
Glad it was helpful!
1:49 Great, great advice...
they are brilliant
Brilliant idea
It works pretty well for basic wiring. So far, so good!
Thanks for the video 👌
I really like the TICONN kits.
They look like they might be the same with a different brand. Or have you used both by any chance?
I used them and the solder joint get hot. Could I have done something wrong?
Saw in another video a guy commented to add a smitch of flux....maybe you can experiment i am waiting for my box to come in
Not a bad idea! Post a link to that vid!
How does this work with connecting wires of different gauges?
As long as both fit in the same Solder Seal. However, do some research on ensuring that the current passing through them is able to be handled by the smaller gauge wire, etc. Signal wires should be OK.
how does this work inside a hot engine? will the heat loosen the weld??
See the @4:20 mark of the video!
@@InJasonsGarage I haven't been able to find end connectors like this, only crimp on's.
@@King_TuTT The link is in the description: amzn.to/2VydgSf
@@InJasonsGarage these are what i'm looking for but solder on not crimp on.

I wish the camera view wasn't upside down looking down at a backwards/inverted angle...makes me feel like I'm falling outta my seat :(
I know, sorry about that. The camera was at a bad angle and I didn't know it until it was too late. I have since bought a bubble level to make sure that doesn't happen again. Glad my videos are so immersive, though! :)
Salty about soldering.
Hey there J. It is splice not spice. I have wondered about those... After this video, I now know never to buy it. Also if you want extra security tie the wires in a square knot before you solder them.
Thanks for the spell check. :) Also, thanks for the tip on the square knot. So now that you see how they work, why wouldn't you use them?
still not sold on low temp solder. I would like to over amp one and see if the heat melts it.
Yep, that’s why I heated it twice to see what would happen. I think your idea is a better test. Want me to send you a couple to try to fry?
@@InJasonsGarage Engineering procedure: What kind of failure are we imagining? Loss of tensile strength? I don't think this splice will be weaker than the surrounding wire in a high-heat situation. We could test it by hanging a heavy weight from the wire and running a high current through it, but do you foresee using a thin-gauge wire with a splice in a high-tension condition? How about loss of conductivity? I think conductivity would be maintained in the splice up to the temperature where the insulation on the surrounding wire would begin to burn off. Other objections? If none... then efficacy confirmed.
I tested this out because in a previous video (see my channel), I made a video on how to quickly t-splice wires without solder and a lot of people claimed that there is only way to join wires and that was with traditional solder. In the spirit of doing things quickly and easily while still getting things done right, I made this video to compliment the first one and to show there is more than one way to do it. Everyone's thoughts on what is right still differs. :)
I soldered 30 connections during the time it took you to do just one. What a joke. Soldering is so easy just learn how to solder and forget about all these gimmicks.
30? My video is 6.5 minutes long, or about 400 seconds. So can strip, splice, solder, and put heat shrink on two wires in less than 14 seconds, start to finish? That's pretty impressive. I made my video for people who don't have those skills or tools.
These take about 1 minute....your soldering iron isn't even hot by the time these are done. Have fun soldering a wire harness inside an engine bay, this is 100x easier and is far faster.
It's no gimmick
