Do you need to connect wires in your car, or your boat, or wherever it is wet?
Look no further! There are great connectors out there in the Amazon and Ebay. Let me show you how this works ...

Great video, actually nice to also see how it can go wrong so I don't have to discover that the hard way!

I like the fact that the video has some errors in connecting them. Really life applications.

Good tutorial - I like the trial and error, not many videos show mistakes and recovery 👍

I add a bit of vaseline to the fittings which gives it a little better seal and keeps them from sticking if you have to disconnect them later.

I was getting so frustrated trying to fit these. Encouraged to see that it wasn't just me, they are very difficult to get all lined up. Great connectors once they're complete, but tricky to put together.

i was also discouraged to fit my motorcycle DIY, LED modification using these connectors, then went to the garage instead.

I personaly apply liberal amounts of the anti corrosion liquid called ACF50, both to the stripped wire end so it wicks down the copper strands, and to the silicon seals. It is a bit like WD40 on steroids, and is used as an anti corrosion film on aircraft and mototcycles. I also noticed that you had the ears that wrap around the seal get crimped in the same way as the copper, in that the ears got folded inwards on themselves. It is usual to have the seal ears overlap one another and get gently squeezed so that they form a circle around the outer part of the seal. Remember that when the connectors are separated water can get into the vital pins, so if you also give the internals a squirt of ACF50 and the water gets in, it will not be able to get to the metal of the pin and cause havoc ✅

Nice video. I will say that a little diaelectric grease goes along way when making these connections.

My red things inside the one side of connecters are all already locked into place in the kit i got so i cant get any of these to lock properly

@alexbare7181 8 ай бұрын

I find if I place the pin in the tool and click it to the first locking point it holds the pin in the tool correctly while I align everything else hassle free

@terlaristrending Жыл бұрын

Hi sir, minute 12:31 after red plastic goes inside we can hear click sound means it has been locked. How to remove back/take out the red plastic out of the housing?

if i had to waterproof one I silicone it. thanks for the video great tips

@mygiguser Жыл бұрын

once you silicone it you can't disconnect again. A connector is there to be able to do that, otherwise you wouldn't cut the wire.

@keeganharmon8595 9 күн бұрын

@@mygiguser I presume the gentleman above meant silicone paste/grease, as in dielectric silicone grease, not the silicone sealant variant.

Can you please tell me what tool is needed and how to remove the pins thank you

@mygiguser Жыл бұрын

YOu remove the red plastic lock piece, and then push the pins back with a screw driver, or pull on the wire.

The ones i use in my video have the follow specs (I don't know if that's true, but that's what the Ebay seller writes) Suitable for Cars, Motorbikes, Trucks, Caravans, Boats and other Marine Vehicles Rated Voltage: 300V Rated Current: 12A 1.5mm Terminal Pin Number: 1/2/3/4/5/6 Working Temperature: -25~85 Degree Waterproof Class: IP68 Material: Plastic

Waterproof = impervious to water. I’ve used plenty of these and consider them to be water resistant = able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely.

@lukaszM46 7 ай бұрын

yeah i just put together a 3pin connector as a test and found water inside after a submerge test. not great, but cheap, not something i would use on a car though

@itchy7727 7 ай бұрын

@dudekidPL what would you use? I have a jeeps, and want better water resistance....

@seanb1081 Ай бұрын

@@itchy7727 You could try using a self-fusing tape, like "Tommy Tape" Electrical insulation and used to fix pipe leaks. However, you wouldn't be able to undo the connection again as the tape chemically fuses to itself. Brilliant stuff!
