stevenkeyte Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Greetings, I am seeking viable alternatives to soldering in order to access a positive wire. This is intended for audio applications. I have obtained the primary power wire for the head unit command. I used posi-lock, but, the connection seems to be rather uncertain for an unknown reason. Fortunately, I have a couple crimp splice locks readily available. Do you have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENZE220AMG Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I have a preference for soldering and using heatshrink, but I am also really enthusiastic about using Wago 222 series cage clamps. https://www.expertelectrical.co.uk/wago-222-series-wiring-connectors?utm_source=adtraction&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=adtraction&at_gd=A0094408F8A4B17DAA3FCCDBA5427BA55AD5DCA8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickoyster4 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 The Wago 221 connectors are of smaller dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickoyster4 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Wago connectors are an optimal option for automobile connections due to their ability to withstand vibrations without compromising the spring pressure on the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickoyster4 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Sever the cable, remove the insulation, insert one end into one hole and the other end into another hole, and connect to a third hole by tapping. Job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderlustGuru Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Connect a wire from a nearby fusebox, such as the one located outside the entrance pillar, using a piggy back fuse connection. There is no need to physically cut any wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENZE220AMG Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I am not really like of those 'Scotchlok' type splices myself, but I must agree that they are convenient to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
