Herr Professor Hertel, thank you so much for your awesome videos! I just recently got knee arthroscopy and I'm happy I can do something productive and set up my m-unit blue on my Ducati while being in the penalty box that is Covid-19! Thank you for all you do for the moto-community and giving people the tools and knowledge to do more than just ride someone else's product! I hope to make it back to Austin one of these days to see you guys! Richard

I used to install electronics in air navigation facilities, so fairly critical. As I think back over my career I realize that we made some big mistakes. We used gobs of the red-blue-yellow insulated terminals. If you consider all the crews working nationally we probably used these by the thousands. I noticed a lot of electricians used them too. And to make matters worse,. when I first started doing this work we were using the cheapo $10 crimp tools. We did eventually start using better crimp tools, either the 9 in insulated/uninsulated pliers, or ratcheting crimpers. I eventually came around to your way of thinking and I now prefer the uninsulated terminals. Going beyond that I would be using open barrel terminals where possible. I am now retired and have a lot of time to watch youtube videos. I have learned a lot of things that I could have used when I was still doing installations. The positive part of the story here is that even though we were using crap tools and insulated connectors we never had call backs so they worked without many failures. I don't doubt there were a few bad splices that failed but the onsite techs probably found them and repaired them.

The double barrel crimp is sometimes referred to as an F style. Another is D style. D style is normally used for terminals that use a cable seal. It crimps the insulation wings to the seal

@RevivalCycles4 жыл бұрын
Ideally, the Micro Open U's. The Open U-A/B are too large and tend to make sloppy terminations that won't fit these tiny connectors. shop.revivalcycles.com/24-12-awg-micro-open-barrel-crimp-tool/

If I hear a "cracking noise" during a crimp, is that the connector breaking? Or the wires being smashed into eachother? Is this a bad crimp?
@RevivalCycles4 жыл бұрын
Sometimes you may hear some crunching sounds as the crimps are made but it's hard to say without being there to witness it. Are you using the right tool for the job and the right gauge? Are you inspecting your crimps afterwards for issues? Have you tried dissecting a crimp after the fact to see if you can determine if there was any damaged caused?

Hi Gary, I'm glad you brought this up as it gives me an opportunity to provide some clarification. There are a countless options available online, most are rebranded versions of the same hand full of designs. But open U crimpers are not universally applicable, each terminal manufacturer has its own specifications. Sometimes you can get by with the the wrong tool; a flathead can serve as a decent pry bar and sometimes you just F things up by not using the right tool for the job. The Open U crimpers we offer are suitable for all of the terminals and connectors on our site and the equivalent Delphi Weather-Pack or Metri-Pack crimper will set you back about $100 or more. If you are using red/blue/yellow terminals like you would get at your local parts store there is a designated crimper for that as well and a ratcheting type might not be so bad. The issue we have with ratcheting U crimpers is that once you've engaged them you are committed. If you've chosen the wrong die or your terminal needs to be adjusted all you can do is mangle the terminal, pry it out of the die and start over. That's fine if you have an unlimited supply of terminals but when you've only got a few chances you need to get it right the first time. Best, -Jeff
