Materials/tools required: Two wires that you need to connect, a tool that can strip wire (red handle in picture), a tool that can crimp butt connectors (yellow handle in picture), and butt connectors in several sizes. Time: The first time you do this it could take awhile, after you ...
the lower quality parts don’t have this. The image of the sectioned crimps shown make this obvious, but to determine this when not sectioned, look down the barrel of the crimp from the wire entry end. You will see metal to almost the end of the crimp in a...
3Slide the compression sleeveonto the bare wire ends, and then crimp the sleeve with a multipurpose tool or the end of a wire cutter that’s made for crimping rather than cutting. Remember that the bare metal sleeve and the bare wires will conduct electricity! At the very least, wrap thi...
Unlike water, which is used as it comes from the tap, electricity is meant to do work: It is converted from energy to power, measured in watts. Since household electrical consumption is relatively high, the unit of measure most often used is the kilowatt, which is equal to 1,000 watts....
How to strip, crimp, and work with wire. Polarity An introduction to polarity in electronic components. Discover what polarity is, which parts have it, and how to identify it. If you're all caught up on the above reading, let's dive right in!
Crimp Bootlace Ferrules These cylindrical metal tubes are crimped onto the end of a wire, using a particular crimping tool. The ferrules' intended protective metal casings ensure that the wire strands remain together and don't fray or damage over time. When connected to a PCB, these crimped wi...
Our connector library (schematic) always contains the appropriate crimp contacts (terminators) for that connector. For example if we route 4 wires to 6 position SPOX connector then our terminator table looks as shown here. Although only the "Terminator Name" comes from the sche...
3. Solder the copper wire ends of the line cord to the transformer's primary lugs, one wire to each lug. When the lugs are cool, wrap them with electrical tape. 4. Place the full-wave rectifier on the perfboard such that the two leads marked "~" line up closely with the transformer...
Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the wire. Slide the provided spade connectors onto the stripped ends of the wires in the gas fireplace control panel. Crimp the connectors securely to the wires. Slide the spade connectors onto the spade terminals on the back of the switch in...
to go to the switch side of the relay. Just cut the insulation off of the 16-gauge and twist the wire end and insert the 10-gauge and the 16-gauge together into the wire connector and crimp it. Use a female terminal on the other end and attach it to the switch terminal of the ...
