💧 Waterproof Electrical Automotive Industrial Connectors - Kuject Connectors Review

Join 2 wires in a sleeve under the solder band. It is better to leave strands free so that they mix with counter wires and are well impregnated with solder. The solder takes more heat to melt than it does to shrink, but it bonds well and the solder is spread across the joint. I found the clear heat shrink tubing to be flimsy, so put another piece of heat shrink tubing over the joint. There is no mechanical connection here like there is with a crimp so you only have solder holding the elements…

I just redid the headlights on my trailer and used them for all connections. I've used them in two different ways. Wherever I could I put the connector on the wire, soldered it with a soldering iron and then plugged in the connector and attached the heat gun. Pre-soldering was impractical on some connections, so I just used a connector and heat gun for the only connection. I paid close attention to the solder and it seemed to flow well and create a strong bond. I really liked them because of…

I have worked with electronics for many years - I have soldered/shrunk wires of all sizes - I have also used various crimp connectors over the years. I didn't expect them to work as well as shown in the video. I was wrong. They work very well. I've had the best results with a heat gun. I tried the lighter. It worked to some extent. Or basically? But I didn't like how it looked and some of the solder looked like it hadn't melted. Then I tried it with a flashlight. I overheated it and it melted…

Had to try this as a last resort. I wish I hadn't. SOLDER DOES NOT MELT! But heat shrink tubes definitely do the trick! SO STRONG THAT THE WIRE LEAKS IF HEATED! The heat shrink tubing is very thin and very flexible, but the solder just WILL NOT MELT! forget the river! I had to put new switches on my Harley's steering wheel. VERY HARD PLACE! Thought it would be great. Shrink tubing has 2 holes of different sizes at the ends. Of course an RCH was too small for the wire and had to be strung. The…

I used to use these typical "butt splice sleeves" as I do quite a bit of automotive wiring work. Do these Kuject brand self-soldering butt connectors not work properly? The solder ring draws excessive heat from the electric blower and never fully melts. The heat shrink tubing usually melts before the solder rings even melt into the wires! Absolute disappointment with this product. I used 4 blue butt connectors from the Kuject pack, all 4 pieces, the solder ring didn't melt properly. Will it…

I've been soldering since 1957 when I worked for Pacific Phone in San Francisco. I know how to solder. and unsolder. Used 3 of these today on my 70's Cadillac Eldorado from the driver's door to the body belt. GM made a major design mistake when they designed this part of the car. As each door is opened, the copper wires in the bundle are bent at an angle of nearly 90 degrees. Well, in 50 years these wires started breaking due to metal fatigue. So I fix the wiring by putting in a very flexible…

These small wire connectors are impressive. I'm just a hobbyist and frankly a hacker when it comes to soldering, but I'm working on it, so my connections, splices, etc. might not be pretty, but they work. This indicates that it is difficult and time-consuming for me. I often try to solder wires that are already connected to something that requires working in awkward positions in hard-to-reach places. These solder connectors will change my game! I attach photos of the box (120 pieces) and the…

Did some testing on the red terminals (18 - 22). They're easy to use, but the trick is choosing the best heating tool to melt the solder and heat shrink tubing. The solder must be melted as quickly as possible, otherwise there is a risk that the shrink tube will melt. I tried a Dremel butane torch with a flame diffuser but it took too long to melt the solder. I tried my electric heat gun but it was too hot and too wide a heat path for the size of the plug. The Dremel butane gas heater worked…

A little background: I've been in the electrical and electronics industry for over 40 years and was an avionics technician for the US Navy, so I've worked on everything from basic car/truck/trailer wiring to Residential/Commercial Electrical and Electrical/Electronics in military aircraft, so I've dealt with wire sizes from 24 AWG to 500 MCM (about 1 inch diameter wires) which means I've done quite a few splices in my life have. Well, nothing will replace a straight, unspliced wire, but that's…
