I believe they could be used for low-voltage wiring that is buried underground as long as the wiring does not get too hot and does not come into contact with any moisture that could cause corrosion.
The PCS T-Series Tap Wire Connectors can be used to connect lights on a vehicle, but they are not weatherproof, so I wouldn't recommend them for any application where they will be exposed to the elements.
Yes, I was successful in connecting the connectors.

I was attempting to tap into the wires in order to install a reverse/backup camera. The tap wire would be pierced by the units, and even after crimping it as tightly as possible, the side connector would not hold it. br>br>I manually cut away wire from the taps and soldered the wire into the spades to fix them. In the process of trying to make it all work, I ruined six or seven pairs. It would have been far more efficient to solder everything manually.
These are functional and suitable for the majority of spade connections. I wouldn't put my faith in the maximum current rating for a long time because the crimp connection has less metal than expected. Overall, the price and ease of use are excellent. br>br>(With a tight fitting connection, I have pushed 30 amps for 10 minutes with the 16awg spade, and they get warm but not hot. ) (Do whatever you want with this. ).
I needed taps for a trailer lighting project and figured it would be a good idea to keep some extras on hand for future projects. So far I have only used a few of them and my success rate is 50%. The issue has been that the tap does not always make a good connection to the wire, and one time it worked for a week before failing.
My brow furrowed in suspicion after using them; I couldn't believe how easily I'd tapped into my OEM speaker wire. They weren't supposed to work, and I was half expecting them to. They did, however. They do . What happened to you during my entire life? If only I could go back in time and undo the hours or weeks I've spent splicing into wires.
Sigh. br>These are so effective that I'm depressed. So there you have it.
The metal part of the splicer clamp easily comes off, which is my only complaint. It's not a problem to replace them. It is, however, inconvenient if it falls off while you are wriggling to get it in position to tap into the wire. br>br>Selecting the appropriate size for both the splicer and the T connector is not only important for a secure connection, but it also makes your job easier. Crimping the T connector, for example, does not require the use of a crimping tool. My wire cutter's handle functioned perfectly well.
Make sure the spade is in the middle of its protective housing when inserting it into the tap. It will not make contact with the connector's metal if it does not do so. I spent nearly an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't get out of my bind with the tap. The spade was then visible through its sheath, which caught my attention. in comparison to scotch This lock wire tap can be tucked away in a tighter space. At the same time, the wire sticking out at a 90-degree angle makes using several of them close together a little difficult.
I needed to add an extra 12v power source to my truck but couldn't fit a soldering iron in the space, so crimp connectors were the best option. I only had one T-shirt on me at the time. In my assorted collection of tap connectors, it seemed like a better deal to get a large set for only a few dollars more than the few I'd need. I can see using these connectors in other projects, both automotive and non-automotive, such as powering a dash cam. I can also see using them in some small electronics/robotics projects I'm working on.
When used in conjunction with a car alarm system, these are fantastic. High quality, low price!br>br>I had previously purchased another brand, which had been defective, and the manufacturer had failed to respond to my letter. I sent them back to Amazon and purchased these in their place.
