Today I make a Wago to Power Pole adapter. This adapter can be used to connect any bare wire system to a power pole.

its always a good day when the beepies go thru LOL

@AA0Z 25 дней назад

Yes mike! beepies are good.

I agree with other comments; properly crimped connections *shouldn’t* need solder. But not everything goes to plan and sometimes we use cheap connectors. I would recommend applying a little liquid flux before soldering. Will make your joints flow like butter.

@AA0Z 3 месяца назад

Yes, good point. II forgot the flux.

May I ask what width/diameter shrink wrap you used? Thanks for the video and apologies if I missed the answer

@AA0Z 4 месяца назад

Never really understood heat shrink standards, but the stuff I used says 3/4" but if you measure across the heat shrink, it's 1 1/8" in. Hope this helps.

@davidmayes1912 4 месяца назад

Thank you!

I made a couple of these. They work great! For one of them I had two ATC fuse holders that were already on wire. I used that in between so I have a fused link. I made mine longer, but I may do a shorter one like yours to throw in my pack. Thanks for the video!

@AA0Z 4 месяца назад

Great tip!

@N5BSB 4 месяца назад

I use solid 12 guage 1 1/4" long, 5/8 shrink wrap. Great to have a couple on hand.

I standardized on 40A power poles. It just makes things easier given their open design Vs. the 30A. This is especially true for me as I tend to oversize wire for an extra safety factor. I never thought of doing this but it could be useful. Nice video.

@AA0Z 4 месяца назад

When you go to crimp, and you are using 18awg wire, does the crimp actually secure the wire?

@nutritionperfection 4 месяца назад

@@AA0Z I've not really used wire gauge that small with power poles. I'd probably pick up some 15A power poles if I was working with gauges that small. When working with stuff that small I tend to be working with connectors that I'm soldering. The 40A are more helpful when you are over-sizing wires (so harder to nicely fit in the 30As) rather than for the small gauge stuff.

I made a few after I saw the for sale, it just happened I had everything I needed on hand. These will come in handy! Thanks for the video!

@AA0Z 4 месяца назад

@mikemurphy1940 4 месяца назад

Maybe I missed something but why did you solder a crimped connector? The crimp is more than sufficient.

@AA0Z 4 месяца назад

I've had crimps fail. You think they are crimped when actually they are not.

@MadGoat 4 месяца назад

Not to mention that solder on a crimp can lead to failure from strain.

Well done Kyle, enjoyed the tutorial and video. Keep up the great work!

Nice Kyle, thank you for sharing. Love the tutorial. I am always interested in learning something new. I do need to learn how to solder and put stuff together. I will one day put a kit together. Thank you Kyle.

I've had one of these in my kit(even pre ham license) for years. It got me out of several binds! All of a sudden, in the last month or two, I'm seeing these pop up on several ham tubes, why is that?

LOL!!! I think of the scene in Die Hard when the guys is cutting the pipes with a chain saw and the other guy is trying to connect the wires. If he only had one of these!!!

Also great for testing pig tail gear and not wasting crimps and housings.
