Circular mils? The US will really do anything to not use metric won't they. As if AWG wasn't stupid enough, now it's combined by pi=4?
@dledsdleds432
Жыл бұрын
Why do you still using imperial? Doing the calculations in metric is so much easier since all wire thicknesses are given in square mm and the crimps are as well (usually 0.5-1.5mm2(red), 1.5-2.5(blue) and 2.5-4(yellow)) and the tools have markings as well. I mean where is the point of calculating the cm, buying quality wire, use a propper stripping tool and then guess with the size with your crimping tool...

while the FAA recommends against soldering anything, they used to have an emergency procedure for solder repairs of wires. basically it involved wrapping each wire around the other 4x, soldering them, adding some sealant to the heatshrink tube, and then shrinking it. reference FAA AC65-15A for the exact procedure. disclaimer, this method is not in the AC 43.13

@@thomasbarlow4223Solder isn’t wrong, but there are pros and cons. Crimping is usually faster, especially if only make one or two connections as there is no waiting time for soldering iron to heat up. Soldering can be more prone to fatigue failure, but this generally isn’t a factor with wire splices as neither end of the splice is firmly fixed. Fatigue is more of an issue with wires entering connectors that are on a rigid mount.

@@salvadorebertoloneNot necessarily, particularly on a unsupported wire splice. Fatigue failure tends to affect mainly soldered connections where one side is flexible and the other is fixed. This is generally wires soldered into connectors that are fixed to a bulkhead or device. Soldered connections on wires that are flexible on both sides will last forever. Similarly, soldered connections on two rigid components, think circuit boards, will last nearly forever. That danger is flexible to rigid connections.

I like to leave a little more bare wire prior to the splice, about the width of the splice itself. This lessens the angle of the wires as they enter the crimp as the insulation being up close as in your example bends the extreme strands quite sharply where they enter the splice due to the diameter of the insulation. And the shrink wrap will easily cover this slight extra amount of bare copper outside the crimp.

My personal hack for replicate the Raychem MiniSeal splices (for lab use and personal applications only) is to get the generic "Non-Insulated Buttsplices" (has to be the extruded type and not the stamped type with a slit along it) and a generic solder sleeve where you gently crush the solder with a pair of pliars and remove it from inside the heatshrink. Heatshrink with glue will also work fine, preferably see-through. Crimping the "generic buttsplice" and then add a "solder sleeve" with the solder ring removed, only having the two glue rings will essentially replicate the MiniSeal connection for 1/100 the price.

In the industry I'm in (railroad maintenance) my preferred terminals of choice are insulated double crimp terminals for small gauge wires (which are 18g up to 10g). Everything else that's 8g or larger (up to 4/0 typically) gets a brazed barrel terminal. I will occasionally used a non insulated brazed barrel terminal with heat shrink on small wires, but the double crimp insulated style is more reliable, easier, and certainly faster. I've used that open barrel crimp tool on pins, but I've actually found that style of pin to be less robust than the [DMC AFM8] style crimper and pins.

Coming from being a MECP certified, installer club and pro grade motorsports wire connections are way more regulated and detailed compared to mobile electronic wire installations. How are high silver content stranded wire compared to copper stranded wire since silver is supposed to be a better electrical conductor than copper? Is the silver to corrosive? I also think about causing more resistance in a splice especially when the wire is going to the ecu where it involves a sensor signal where it’s more critical to the ecu like Motec.
@hpa101

A sensor signal wire isn't any more sensitive when using a MoTeC ECU vs an EMtron vs an AEM and so on. The resistance is not any concern at all unless of course you have done your splice incorrectly. Hope that helps! - Taz.
