DIY: How To Wire An Anderson Plug!

[@JasonByrne-bf1yt]

Moving the wire back and forth while waiting for the solder to solidify will create a cold joint, introduce voids and ultimately weaken the connection. Best to hold the wire as still as possible until the solder turns solid. I also agree with the comment below re getting the copper up to temp - heating the lug for a couple of seconds after plunging the copper will do the trick. Thanks for the video as it does show a couple of good options people can apply at home or in the bush with some different tooling - I like the bolt cutter crimper.

whoa.. Sir, if you don't get the copper in the wire up to temp, the solder will not flow into the cable and you'll have a high resistance connection = a recipe for fire. Crimp correctly or solder properly, not both. Ideally, dip the cable into some flux then add to the solder pool and apply more heat until the solder flows into the cable. It should look smooth and uniform. You can absolutely remove the wires once they're clipped in if you need to. Just lever the tab down with a small screw driver or scribe and pull the cable.

I would have soldered the wire then dipped it in the connection. 7:17

Where did you get the sleeve for the dust cover? Does it come for the 175a size Anderson plug as well?

U didn't tin your wire b4 u put it in the Anderson terminal?

If you are going to do a video of how to do the job use the right tools.i even have a proper crimping tool for all gauges of wire.

Stripping a wire and terminating it are different
