1. [Shop-talk] Tapping off a crimp connector? (score: 1)

I'm building a wiring harness for dual horns on a motorcycle. Instead of 2 leads coming off the relay, I'd like to have one lead to one horn, then tap off that for the second horn. I can't find, with

I'm not sure exactly what you are seeking. Do you need to be able to connect/disconnect this or is a permanent connection OK? If permanent then solder/heat shrink is a good choice. Anyway, I like to

Jim - You may be looking for a "piggy back spade connector". Try that in your favorite search engine. See http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/CTI0/85412/N0840.oap for some examples that turn a s

I can think of three options. One is the "piggyback" crimp connector. It's a female spade connector with a male tab added. Example from RadShack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId

Another solution, when space is tight, is to use a single wire at the relay, but split it a little ways away. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Shop

Why not just solder the connectors on and protect them with heat shrink tubing? That is what I did when I rewired my Alpine last summer. One small diameter piece of tubing over the ferrule end (I thi

Do you mean the actual connection so it can't be unplugged? I can't, it needs to stay removable. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/

No, I meant solder the connector on to the wires rather than just crimp it on. That would give you a more secure connection if you just put two wires into a single connector. Sent from my iPhone wrot

I've never been a fan of the Scotch-lock connectors that let you tap into an existing wire by crimping them on. They actually cut through the insulation and often some of the wire strands. If there's

That's about what I'd do. Important thing - DO NOT force the electrical connection to do the work of a mechanical connection. Use both. Twist the wires, put in connector, mash with a good crimp tool

FWIW, you can also buy just the tubing with the sealer inside. Any good electronics supply should have it, or I get mine at McMaster-Carr. My preference is to start with an uninsulated terminal (cut

Good point, and mostly agreed. I understand the brittleness issue with soldering and should have mentioned that. And obviously OEM wiring harnesses are crimped. But that's assuming you have a dedicat

Not what I said. What I said is that crimp plus solder is better than either one alone. Mostly because it is cheaper. Years ago, I worked for a company that did minicomputer installations aboard sei
