I agree with Mark.
You can get a lot of neat stuff from Waytek - www.waytekwire.com You can go a long way with a decent crimper like the Thomas and Betts WT111M, a handful of noninsulated crimp terminals (I like the spade or faston type) and some heatshrink tubing. You can actually pull the colored insulation off of the cheap crimp terminals you see at hardware stores and then use a good crimper to crimp them on REAL good. The crimper that you see sold at Radio Shack or OSH that is stamped and can cut and strip wires, crimp 10 different kinds of connectors, and make french fries is crap! Mark is showing what is called an open barrel connector, you can get them from Waytek, they call them relay terminals. You'll need yet another special tool, the blue handled one that Mark shows, also available from Waytek. (#491 I think?) I'm doing a big thing about crimping and making wiring harnesses at this year's Maker Faire (see my sig), check it out if you want to learn more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
