Dzimm Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Those are awesome! Not too bad of a price for the offbrand ones on Amazon either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugalo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 they really work well if you have the room to get to the solder joint. Used them for years on aircraft avionics. Raychem may have them cheaper and they use a heat gun with a J shaped outlet spout that heat 2 sides at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yep, I've been using them for a long time. They were full retard expensive in the 90s. I imagine they have improved since then. The low temp solder use to corrode easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they have improved since then. The low temp solder use to corrode easily. Did they fix the corrosion problem? I am literally rebuilding a harness I fixed with those years ago because they're all breaking up. The ones on heavier wires with more current draw seem to have survived better than the little guys but maybe that's because there's just more material that has to break down? Reflow does nothing useful unfortunately. I love the idea as they made it so much easier, and realistically I got over 15years out of the old ones so I guess i can't b*@ch too much, but I had to rip the dash harness completely out to fix it and extend single conductors that just rotted away inside these connectors... replaced it all with proper heatshrink and solder that still had some lead in it because I ain't doin' it again.

Good stuff, if y'all hadn't seen them in action Scanner Danner on YouTube made video a while back.

SatiricalHen Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I got some of those for Christmas and they are pretty handy. I haven't done much wiring with them yet, but what I have done seems to be doing pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
