Questions & Answers
Although I haven't tried it, it appears that you should use a connection that is a perfect match for the wire application.
It comes in a plastic divided carrier, just like the picture shows.
In general, I'd say no, it isn't. When it comes to your power/ground wiring, always twist bare wire to bare wire and finish with solder to bond the wires for the best electrical signal connection. When connecting a reverse camera to your car's reverse tail lights or something similar, tap connectors are fine. The T- If not used properly, tap connectors have a tendency to cut stranded copper wires when clamped down, and the metals used in them aren't always of the highest quality.
Because of the thickness of the coating on some wires, I had to use the smaller connectors. You should also have better luck if you use channel lock pliers to squeeze them on. Finally, I needed to use a small screwdriver to spread the space of the female receiver to make installation easier. I recently rewired my 7-ton trailer and found these connectors to be very reliable. We'll see how they stand up to the test now.

The faucets function as they should. When tapping into a size 12 awg main line with a yellow T-connector, you can use any of the three colors. One can use the red connector and 18 awg wire to connect to a light fixture after coming off the tapped line. br>br>I used these to wire up the interior 12 volt RV lights and found them to be extremely useful. br>br>It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of properly squeezing these together, but once you do, connecting the T-slots is a breeze. Taps. br>br>For a good connection, the blades must fit very tightly. br>br>Overall, they did the job I asked of them and saved me time and money on the job.
The T tap is a good layout that would work, but the parts are of such poor quality that they would not work. I squeezed it until it clicked, then a little harder, and then used a multimeter to check the connection, which I didn't have. I tried squeezing even harder, but it didn't work, so I pulled the connector off the cable and discovered that the little metal blade hadn't managed to punch through the outer jacket of the wire at all. br>br>In addition to not being strong enough to punch through to the inner cable, I discovered several connectors that were completely missing the internal metal blade. br>br>Moving away from the T tap to the spade connector intended for the wire to be added, I had three of them that I had crimped very, very firmly and that simply fell apart when I tried to disconnect them from the T tap. The design is good, but the quality is so bad that it's useless.
I purchased these in order to connect to my car's turn signals and reverse light wires. I decided to do some bench testing before working on the factory-fresh wiring. These taps work by forcing the wire into a metal channel that is supposed to strip the sides of the wire and make contact. br>br>In practice, this does technically work, but I have serious concerns about the product's quality and safety. In every test, I found it to break several strands in the tapped wire. I tried various sizes and either got poor/no contact or far too much damage to the underlying wire. That might not seem like a big deal, but if you e With this understood, I will not use these in any project that requires 100% certainty, safety, or durability. Maybe a little side project. There is no way I'm buying a new car.
I didn't even need to use my soldering iron. Job completed in a timely, pleasant, and orderly manner. br>Thank you so much, " TICONN ", for an excellent product. br>I will use this whenever no soldering is required. br>God Bless You and Many Aloha's,, GT.
First and foremost, these did the job for me without ripping apart my car's audio wiring harness. Once you've connected them, they appear to be quite snug. To ensure penetration, I lightly scored the wires and spun the clamps around it a couple of times (don't force it). br>Here's why I gave it a one-star rating. Everything was connected, but none of my devices were working. I ended up retracing my steps, blah blah blah, but the male ends of these plugs were the culprit: the crimping process pushed the spade flat against the shell, so I thought I had them plugged in, but the spade simply slid around the female opening on the clamp instead of sliding in as desired. I bent them back into place, connected everything, and was good to go once I realized this. br>This was my first time using connectors of this type, and I'm pleased with the results. All you have to do now is make sure the male portion is straight down the middle.
The ticonn t-shaped ticonn t-shaped ticonn t The taps were extremely effective. I like the idea of being able to simply disconnect the male spade connector and leave the tap if you accidentally tap into the wrong wire (as I did). One helpful tip is to press hard to ensure that the male spade is fully inserted; once this is done, it will be stuck in place and unlikely to come out unless you pull it out. There's a lot of product for the money, and it's of good quality.
It was delivered on time and performed as expected. I used it to tap into a thick insulator on an 18 gauge wire. Before attaching the insulator, I scored it to ensure that the connector would make a good connection.
Make a connection by tapping it. The correct metal insert, which taps into the wire on the far left, can be seen in the photo. The wrong metal insert appears to go with the yellow T-shirt next to it. Tap. The shade of blue is yellow T- The taps serve as a point of reference. br>br>The majority of the red T-shirts are worn by women. Taps are incorrect; I'm hoping for 10 good ones out of 40.
