Review on Ancor 211418 Electrical Disconnects Insulation by Chef Buntiloy

Just received these insulated disconnect terminals and did a test crimp on the male and female ends. You are just great. In destructive testing, I see that they have a wire stopper and double metal layer crimp barrel that gives strong crimps even with cheap crimping tools. They are extremely heavily crimped onto the wire, and I believe their breaking strength is much higher than that of the wire itself. I bought a few other fully insulated "young" brands from the local hardware store and they were cheap and junk. When looking for a replacement I found that Ancor seems to be a solid brand. They are definitely high quality and don't even cost that much more than those sold in cheap hardware stores. I found that once connected they are too difficult to separate. But there is a simple solution. Just take a small flathead screwdriver and bend the socket slightly until the plug releases with the desired resistance. You can also use heat shrink tubing on the ends for a highly moisture resistant connection.
