If you stripped back twice as much of the protective covering from the wire, folded the end of the bare wire in half so it's twice as thick, and then inserted it into the connector, you wouldn't need to use as much solder.
Pretty sharp video. I've been soldering all my life and I've done a few of these myself. They are heat magnets and really need a torch like you demonstrated. One bit of critique if I may... On both connectors you moved the wire after it began to cool. This can often create a cold solder joint. Once the solder flows sufficiently around the wire and wets in you need to leave it alone until is has cooled to a completely solid state. Cold solder joints add resistance to the connection which is the last thing you want for a battery cable. It may seem picky to say so but it can bite you. If the wire moves during the cooling process simply reheating the joint to a liquid state should take care of it. Otherwise, thanks for putting this out.
I've watched dozens of tiny homes + van life videos. They inspired me to invest in a small solar power system for my home in late 2022. I decided to get one of these lil quick connect thingies. I've been scratching my head trying to figure this out. THIS was very useful. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for making this, I didn’t know more than I knew I didn’t know :-). The orientation of the tips as they get inserted into the housing was the big unknown for me, I was playing around thinking it could fit either way
These just arrived today and I was like.. hmm.. wonder how this goes together, better check youtube, and sure enough, you had the exact same one. Thank you.
@northeastrailway87 That's exactly what I need to do...I want to be able to quickly move the winch from the front receiver to the rear receiver on my UTV.
Soldering the lugs only IS NOT RECOMMENDED! If they start to get hot the solder will melt and the wires will come out!. You MUST crimp them first with the CORRECT size lug for the size wire your using! Then you can solder if you want to. Seen a lot of soldered only lugs FAIL!
Thank you for your Video, it helps me to understand how this connectors work and how the cables are connected with the connctor parts. Warm Regards since Queretaro in Mexico
If I had one already on but lost the matching piece for the other side, could I just cut it off and put the regular positive and negative battery connects back on to make it work again?
i've done this but just a little bit differently. i filled the the part that the wire goes into first with solder and while it was still hot put the wire in and then did a quick crimp as well as a shrink tubing.
If the wire is not hot it will freeze the solder and not enter, also heating it separately without adding the fluxed solder will cause it not to bond. Thanks for the question.
