this is what I have for that style of crimp. It's fast, easy, and have yet to have one come off. The three slots are color coded for the gauge connector you're using.

u/drtonmeister · 3 pointsr/whatisthisthing

That one is a rotating die crimper, but I think "ratcheting crimper for insulated terminals" might be the search-phrase what you are looking for if 12-Gauge is your concern. Very common and useful for automotive use and loudspeaker connections where you want trouble-free installations.

Yellow is color coded for 10-12 awg, it would be best to use an insulated crimper then. I would recommend the Titan Tools Crimper under $20, i have had it for over a year and use it nearly every week. It is ratcheting so it makes it easier to crimp and always crimps the proper amount. For a less expensive option you could buy the Gardner Bender Crimper under $10 or something similar. I haven't used that specific tool, but i have used hand crimpers and they get the job done, but you need to make sure you crimp the proper amount. Gardner Bender is a good brand, not top quality, but will last a long time and will work properly when taken care of.

No worries, you've got a good mindset to learn and no time like the present.

I'll add that most swear by solder and heatshrink + electrical tape. This is nice once you're really acclimated but you'll likely end up reconnecting things several times as you tinker and expand. I'll list below my couple of absolute favorite things I've picked up over the years and why I bought it:

Ratcheting Wire Crimper-- Can't tell you how many crimps have failed just because I didn't apply enough force. The ratchet ensures you get that final click down.

And a pricier ratchet I invested in over time-- Nice because it's more modular but not needed.


Posi Twists and also Posi Taps-- These make for quick connections + testing. Various sizes available but I tend to get some that cover 14+, and another set for smaller gauges ~22+

Solder Seal Wire Connectors-- I started buying these in bulk recently because they're just stupidly easy to use and make a rather quick and solid connection. Soldering is another experience onto itself if you've never done it before. While I tend to do more circuit-board soldering than wire to wire, it's all relatively similar and you'll find certain products that you fancy more over time. The biggest thing I'd say here is to buy solder WITH lead. Can't tell you how much frustration I've had over shit solder, haha.

My most recent wire stripper-- I chose because it has the largest range of gauges and there's no internal spring that forces the stripper open. Having one tool to do 10awg all the way to 26 is pretty sweet.

This one.

Doesn’t crimp the blue too well. I Have to crimp blue connectors down to the red but other than that works great for red and yellow connectors.

u/pnapod · 2 pointsr/electricians

Well I won't be using crimpers intended for uninsulated terminals on insulated terminals.

It just seems like to keep there isn't much of a difference between heat shrink and normal nylon insulated terminals.

Here is an example of what im looking at:

Heat shrink:

Nylon insulated:

I was in exactly the same place ~a year and a half ago. If you don't mind a little effort, I think it's totally worth DIYing this so it's less mysterious. You'd be surprised how many things are thrown away because e.g. the power cord is damaged.

If you're going to the hardware store, just bring the terminal with you and match it up by eye, if you're sticking with Amazon, you can buy an assorted pack like this to have your bases covered. Then you'll need a crimp tool (like this) to actually attach it. If you're stocking up you can get some cheap wire strippers, but in a pinch you can use a knife or even scissors. As u/vp3d said, these are all run-of-the-mill things that should be both cheap and readily available. When you're done, put them all in the same box so you can find them next time you need them.

Measure out the length of wire you need (leave extra, especially on the first end), strip off the insulation far enough that the connector can fit on (but don't leave it bare outside the connector), stick the wire in the connector, match the color of the insulation on your terminal to the color on the crimper, and squeeze! While it's possible to screw up, you can just snip off the terminal and try again. Worth googling quickly, but the only real thing you need to worry about is that the crimp is decent (look up images of good and bad) and that it's secure - you should be able to tug on it and not have it budge at all.

Talking to prusa support and getting another set is also a very reasonable option, but doesn't come with near the same sense of satisfaction.

Crimping will work, its not that hard to do, just gotta make sure you have enough leverage on the tool to get the connector attached, a tool like this makes it pretty easy to get it done: https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Tools-11477-Ratcheting-Terminal/dp/B0069TRKJ0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483233152&sr=8-2&keywords=crimping+tool
I would normally recommend soldering the ends on to the connector and heat shrinking. I hate seeing soldered connections directly to the switches so I would never say to do that, but sounds like you should start with crimping and see if that works out.

I have had these for quite a while. Finishing up re-wiring about 80% of my Ericson 39-B. I'll never go back to the cheap crimpers and strippers...these take a lot of the menial frustration out of involved re-wiring projects.

Ratcheting Crimper

Self-adjusting wire stripper

I would also advise a set of knee pads!

Most people start not realizing a lot of electrical products sold for DIY are junk. Check out these crimpers while you're at it.

u/Saucy_Bagel · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

Alright, you and /u/PioneerStandard have convinced me.

Would you mind helping me figure out which would work best?

Would a ratcheting one like this be best despite the cost? https://www.amazon.ca/Titan-11477-Ratcheting-Terminal-Crimper/dp/B0069TRKJ0

Or would a nice/decent wire stripper/cutter/crimper like this work alright? https://www.amazon.ca/Gardner-Bender-GS-366-Multi-Purpose-Crimp/dp/B00164C0KW

Also, would a more "plier-type" tool work as well? https://www.amazon.ca/Irwin-Industrial-2078309-Stripper-ProTouch/dp/B000JNNWQ2

Thanks by the way.

u/McShotCaller · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

These Titan crimper are pretty great,

I use panduit brand crimpers at work that they pay close to $1000 for, these are every bit as good in my opinion and they are $25

u/mongler_richard · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

Just so you know in the future, that doesn't look like the proper way to crimp those terminals. I'm guessing you just smashed them with a pair of pliers but you should always use the proper crimper on terminals like that when it matters because the wires can slip out.
