CRIMP CONNECTORS how to crimp EASILY & SAFELY

6 років тому

What are all those crimping connectors called? What are they used for? How do they work? How do you use crimping connectors for electrical connections? Here I take a look at electrical crimping connectors, often used in auto electrics, and set about answering all these questions.
You may have seen me using the connectors in one of my electrical related videos, maybe about switches, relays, PIDs, etc. Certainly one subscriber had - he wrote asking very simply “what are those called” and I realised this was a topic I hadn’t covered properly. So for him and anyone else interested, here I look at the most commonly used crimping connectors, the Spade, Ring, Bullet, Fork and Butt Splice, demonstrating their use and explaining their function.
Finally I look at my preferred application of crimping connectors - using a soldering iron. Yes I know that's not really the point, but it does make for a much more secure fixing.

Hi great video. If you turn around your crimper you will get a better result. When using crimper the coloured dot is the wire side of the crimp. These crimpers have two crimps one for conductor and the other is to crimp around the plastic. They are not the same and would explain your loose crimp. Please do not take this as a criticism the rest of your video was very good and thanks for posting. Cheers.

Hi Selwyn. No offence taken my friend. I appreciate the tip. I'm always happy to learn : )

@davecc0000 4 роки тому

Yes. VOG, look closely at the half-moon shapes in each position of the crimp dies. Each terminal fits in one location in the die but there are 2 areas (half-moon shapes) that press on the crimp. One of these makes a deeper "squeeze" than does the other one. The correct way to crimp is to make sure the deeper crimp is on the metal of the terminal and the not-so-deep crimp is on the plastic and the insulation of the wire. The not-so-deep crimp creates a strain relief at the outlet of the terminal and holds the wire so that it doesn't move around and ruin your crimp. As Selwyn Tracey says the terminal and wire should be inserted in the crimp tools so that wire end of the terminal comes out the side of the crimp tool that has the colored dot. Also note that the crimp dies in these tools can be removed (take out the screws holding in the dies) and installed such that the colored dots can be on either side. But I think that the dies are designed to fit best in the tool if they are installed with the yellow dot nearest the hand grips. No need for solder!

How refreshing to read a constructive comment given AND ACCEPTED gracefully! Yes, that too is the first thing I noticed. I finally managed to snag a (used of course) 59170 Amp crimp tool and had been using IT backward also. It always seemed to be so awkward, and last night I had a few minutes to read up on how to use it properly. You are so right - the dies are asymmetrical and crimp the conductor different from the insulation. The trick is that the wire goes on the side with the dots - as far as I can tell, that is true for all crimpers. Cheers.

6:35 If you look at your crimper as shown in this moment of your video, you will see a star shaped washer, that has what look like teeth on the top half of the crimper. That washer has a phillips head screw attached to the outside of the washer. That is where you can adjust the crimper to make the connection stronger, or weaker. Simply remove the screw, and rotate the washer, there are arrows pointing in 2 different directions + for stronger, and - for weaker. There is absolutely no need to recrimp a wire terminal 2, 3, or even 4 times as you mentioned. In fact, I actually had to weaken the crimping force on my tool, as it was cutting into the insulation on 12/12g butt connectors.

@riverboatroach1049 Рік тому

Thanks for the video. I am embarrassed to admit, I’ve been a hobbyist for many years and find myself disappointed if I have to use a crimp connector for anything at all. I’m very particular with connections and the crimps always seemed too loose. I figured there was no way I was doing it right, yet never sought out a tutorial until today. I was glad to see I wasn’t alone in my frustrations. Between the video and comments, I feel like I’ve completed a master course in crimp connectors. So, thanks again. Very much appreciated

@rcanoli99 9 місяців тому

The procedure I use when I am fitting a 22 gauge wire in an 18-22 gauge connector. I will strip more insulation, fold the stranded wire and insert it into the crimp connector round end first, prior to crimping. Loose crimps are caused because the whole isn't 75% or more filled. I am so glad you didn't solder the wire before crimping. Good video.

@foxpup 4 роки тому

Soldering wire crimp connectors can be OK in low vibration contexts but for automotive or more "active" settings that can be a problem. The act of soldering the tip of a wire makes it very rigid while the main part stays flexible. The point of transiton between states is rather sudden and that is the point along the wire where ALL the bending happens and that is where all the weakening happens until the wire is broken by each wiggle. Crimping only doesn't create that obrupt spot where all the bending happens and so actually is more durable when there is lots of agitation. (why automotive experts prefer it that way :-) ) - Got this info from Jack on EVTV who is quite adament about this and he's almost right on things mechanical/electrical/technological/even-political. Incidentally copper wire seems to become MORE rigid as it bends and so each bending would be inclined to be at a subtly different spot alonge the wire. Crimp connectors on normally and you get to take advantage of the virtues of copper. :-)

A little tip for those of you making connections using crimp-on connectors, invest in a bottle of Nolox. Ideal is the company that primarily sells it here in the states, and is used on mechanical lugs where aluminum wire is used. It is a conductive gel used to prevent corrosion on aluminum to aluminum contacts or copper to aluminum. Squeeze a SMALL amount into the wire opening before you insert the bared wire, then crimp as normal. Also, those spade connectors are notorious for crap connections in a vibration-prone application (cars, planes, boats) a LITTLE dab of Nolox into the female spade end before insertion will help to avoid said issues. you're welcome👍

@mttness 3 роки тому

Thanks Man. I have had a similar experience with crimping wires. I can never, ever get those crimped well enough to feel comfortable about the connection long term. I certainly like the idea of pulling back the insulation to visualize what you are crimping and there is in-fact a good tight squeeze on the wires. And of coarse the soldering of the connection seals the deal with confidence. A lot of my applications need to be waterproof so I think I may buy the connectors without a sleeve and use a good heat shrink over the connector. Thanks for the video, its helpful for a self taught person like me to see what others are doing!

Forks are also a viable alternative for wiring stranded wire to outlets and light switches here in north america (Canada & US), especially if the length doesn't allow you to do a usual loop with a piece of insulation sort of serving as a bootlace. There also exist forks with the tips bended upwards, as an extra safety to prevent the wire from slipping out, but they're a bit more annoying to remove and, so far, as long as you tighten down the scrww properly, it won't come off.

I too was never happy with how plastic insulated terminals crimped, so I've always done exactly this and pulled the plastic cramp off, crimped and then soldered. You can also buy uninsulated terminals which come with rubber insulation which you slide over after crimping/soldering. I actually like to use heat shrink as well before sliding the insulation over it if I want to be really safe.

As a panel wireman I use crimps and bootlaces all day. The cembre crimper and nippex bootlace crimper are very reliable. Your crimper will have a + and - to adjust the tension of the spring. This will ensure a good connection. A pull test will also confirm if. The cable is sound. You can also tell if you’ve miscrimped as it doesn’t feel right.

I am SO glad I had watched your veg oil videos because clearly the algorithm knew I wanted to watch your video on how to crimp these little guys. SO glad i did because having used the method you describe at the end (without solder I confess) for many years, I always felt like a plebian compared to the superior crimp-tool owner/operators. Some of these double-hinged mechanisms are €500+! That's double-unhinged if you ask me. I was eyeing up a €80 set on scamazon, but now that I realise magic doesn't exist, i'll go back to using plyers and patience to get a known-good result. Top video! Edit: Although i've heard that solder on a 240V AC connection might be dangerous, but i've not heard as to why it should be more dangerous as to the exact same connection without solder. Would be good to know the mechanics behind why solder on AC is bad, because it's pretty counter-intuitive.

@honestinsincerity2270 4 роки тому

I find a big reason for the bad connections on those insulated terminals is because even the matching dies in that ratcheting type crimper cannot accommodate for the insulation itself and doesn't quite squeeze the barrels of the terminals closed like it should. So basically those jaws with the colored dots on em don't work for shit. But if you just use the equivalent non insulated dies which have a detent that punches the barrel down and forces it to form around the detent, there's no way in hell that wire is coming out. I've tested all kinda gauges with all different types of terminals and the wire itself snaps before pulling free of the crimp. The only downside kinda is the detent can sometimes gouge out or make small tears in the nylon insulation. But if you use the heatshrink kind of crimp terminals, that's not a problem at all. It totally heals itself. So really, always use the non insulated portion of the crimp tool for both insulated and non insulated terminals for a rock solid connection.

@landroveraddict2457 5 років тому

I am a solder it before crimp it person but the weakness of a solder connection is vibration. Try this experiment tin a section of copper multi strand wire. Bend the tinned section back and forth, it will snap very quickly, usually where the tinned area merges with the un-tinned. Soldered joints should not be used where vibration is an issue. You do have to balance that against the downside of a crimped cable which is electrolytic corrosion caused by different metals touching each other. In my view the best connection is a marine type. The copper cable comes with each individual strand tinned with a zinc, tin and lead solder. The cable is still very flexible and is crimped onto high quality tinned brass terminals. This type of connection is vibration tolerant and resistant to corrosion There is probably a higher standard for aerospace but for me marine quality is as good as I need.. BTW love your videos

@bdf2718 5 років тому

You're absolutely correct about solder embrittlement. If there's any chance of the cable vibrating then you need heat-shrink over the splice. But a crimp splice is better than a solder splice with heat-shrink. For avionics the wire and crimp barrel are untinned. Wire is copper, crimp contacts for connectors are beryllium-copper (or similar) gold-plated (5 microns over nickel flash) for the connector contact area, usually unplated crimp barrel. For electrical distribution the wire is copper and so is the ring terminal. The pressure from the crimp tool is enough to cold-weld them together. A Hellerman Deutsch rep I occasionally encountered showed me one that had been sectioned so the cold weld was visible. The individual strands of the cable cold-welded together and the barrel of the crimp cold-welded to the wire with no voids between the strands or between barrel and strands. The crimp barrel was as thick as my wrist - that takes a serious crimping tool. A good crimp is the most reliable joint you can get. A bad crimp is a failure waiting to happen.

@landroveraddict2457 4 роки тому
