Orion Motor Tech Wire Connector 2 Pack, 175A Wire Harness Plug Kit for 2 to 4 Gauge Cables, 12V to 36V Battery Quick Connect Disconnect Set for Car Bike ATV Winches Lifts Motors More, Set of 2, Red

I have no idea how to crimp this down to fit #4 wire. The diameter of the wire is less than half of the opening of the ferrule. In a message through Amazon, Orion asked me for more details about The tapes have been returned, so I do not have a picture of them. Here is a description of why they were returned. In this connector, there is a contact well with a cross sectional area of 53 which is sized for contact #0. A surface area of 47 mm2. A #4 wire with a 21 ohm diameter will do. This square measures 45 mmx 45 mm. There is less than half of the contact hole that is filled by wire #4. In terms of the purpose of the crimp, it must create a solid bond through uniform compression of cable strands, but this difference is too large for that to be achieved. After some research, I found that National Electrical Code best practices recommend using bushings to reduce contact when there is a difference between wire sizes. As a result, I bought connectors just like these but designed for #4 wire instead.

So far I haven't even put them to use, but they appear to be well constructed with good fit and finish There is a flat finish between the dust caps and the housings. As mentioned, it would have been nice if they had included some instructions since it is unclear how the pins should be oriented when they are pressed into One of my main complaints is that the terminals are sized for about 1/0 instead of 2-inch wires A gauge of 4 inches. As you can see in the image, a 2 gauge cable surrounded by plenty of empty space. To try to get a good crimp with 4 gauge is just not possible for me. If your material is thick, you may need to put some muscle into the crimpers too (I had to begin with a larger crimp and then finish with a.

Nice connectors, but they need one more thing to get it. There is something I really like about I nearly gave up after a few weeks of use. . . the lugs are quite heavy duty. In addition, I bought a lug crimper, and it was not one of the cheap kinds. The shop press had to be used if I wanted to crimp the ring
I would like to add a small packet of sealant to put on the backside of the connectors if they are to be given a 5 for these.
After assembling, they went together great and are easy to pull apart. This is to run an amp line to my winch receiver in my truck to use my winch with my hitch so the connector is exposed to road dirt, mud, etc. If I could have sealed the backside, the plugs would always be clean when I needed.

In my capacity as a solar installer for mobile units, I decided to give this a go. For a cable of this size, it is a big fail. The wire does not even fill half of the lug volume, as you can see from the photos. addition, it tears the lug when using the 2 gauge crimp tool because the lug is too large. Although I am not sure how it will work with 4 gauge cable, I do not recommend it for use with 2 gauge.

Upon arrival, the packaging was well protected and the date of delivery was met. The connector kit was used to install a 1,0000 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter in my new Toyota Sienna XLE van that has been made wheelchair accessible. Because of the length of the cable run, the inverter had to be mounted underneath the driver's seat. It was necessary to have a quick disconnect on my chair to facilitate the removal of my power-driven seat for cleaning You could seat yourself in the chair as the driver. Due to its design, the #2AWG cable could be soldered with ease, resulting in a clean, strong, and a zero-leak installation. A connection that is based on resistance. Upon inspection of the plugs, I was somewhat confused since none of the plugs were obvious male or female. In a quick glance at the Amazon photos, it appears that they are designed in such a way that they slide into each other when one is flipped 180 degrees. This is a genius idea! Ensure that you take this flip into consideration when soldering the cable ends so that the negative output cable does not accidentally get hooked up to the positive input The procedure of crimping is not recommended. The product is excellent and I would.

The lugs are very thick, so they are very difficult to crimp onto the cables without special tools, as stated in other reviews. If basic instructions were provided with a few helpful options, that would be useful. Since I did not want to buy a special crimping tool, I soldered the cables into place instead, which should have been my first step My first step was to clamp the cable in a small vice, cut the soldering wire into 1-inch long sticks, and put as many of them as I could fit into the cavity. Place the cavity facing up and heat with a MAP torch, then insert the stripped wire after the solder has melted. You don't need a special tool unless you already have one. It's much quicker and easier than the alternatives.

There is not much addition to say. I suggest you be sure you have the proper wire size for the terminals you order. I had to do some fancy crimping because the cables I ordered were too small for the terminals I ordered. It worked out fine in the end. We learned from our mistakes! Connections are made easily and tightly by these connectors It appears they will not be jostled loose in any way. They're easy to disconnect, and an added bonus is having a battery connection at the back of my truck for my hitch attached winch to plug into when needed. I highly recommend them for my purpose to plug in my hitch attached winch when I.

There are serious issues with the contacts on this connector. In spite of my best efforts, I was unable to crimp the 2AWG wire with a crimper designed for connections up to 0000 gage. It would be impossible to crush the contact due to its wall thickness. If you wish to crimp this device, use one of the inexpensive "hammer shut" crimpers, but you will not be disappointed in the result. The housing is made from a very thick and robust There are two spring steel retainers built into the housing that perform a dual function. As a result, the contacts remain in place and the matching contacts are pressed tightly into place resulting in strong connections with very low resistance.
