#12305, "RE: Where to get the best wire splicing hardware" In response to In response to 3
Originally posted by hookduphatch oh, and we use these things here on base, i do electronics in the air force, that we put on the wire. almost looks like a butt connector. but you put both the wires in at seperate ends, then heat them up with a heat gun. it's basically heat shrink and solder all in one step, without flux or the iron. so you heat it long enough so that the solder penetrates the joint fully, and you're good to go, as the heatshrink will seal both ends.
That connector sounds pretty sweet but it also sounds expensive. Do you know where I could get a hold of the connectors like that? I wouldn't mind using something like that if the price is right but the way it sounds, it sounds like I would have to buy a heat gun thingy. The most cost effective solution at this point seems like I should just solder them all and put some heat shrink around them.
Well thanks for the suggestions on where to get some of connectors. If you guys have some more ideas or suggestions just let me know.
