Waterproof Wire Connectors

Do you need to connect wires in your car, or your boat, or wherever it is wet?
Look no further! There are great connectors out there in the Amazon and Ebay. Let me show you how this works ...

I like the fact that the video has some errors in connecting them. Really life applications.

[@Really10801]

Great video, actually nice to also see how it can go wrong so I don't have to discover that the hard way!

[@TINKcustoms]

I was getting so frustrated trying to fit these. Encouraged to see that it wasn't just me, they are very difficult to get all lined up. Great connectors once they're complete, but tricky to put together.

[@ibnuhajarulinnuha6288]

i was also discouraged to fit my motorcycle DIY, LED modification using these connectors, then went to the garage instead.

[@johnallen8094]

No worse the RJ 45 connectors

[@kennak476]

I add a bit of vaseline to the fittings which gives it a little better seal and keeps them from sticking if you have to disconnect them later.

[@scottskatell]

Good tutorial - I like the trial and error, not many videos show mistakes and recovery 👍

[@JustinThayer-z2u]

Very helpful thankyou saved me all the trial and errors

[@martynpeters5663]

Thank you your instruction is very clear, and at a speed which I can keep up

[@search4orlife]

Brilliant, thanks.

[@amitkrupal1234]

This is cool, lot of work but worth it, also thanks for keeping error, make it feel better to know how to be not harsh on self

[@PG-ji6vq]

Thanks for the very helpful video, and for making my mistakes in advance !

[@LordHolley]

Nice video. I will say that a little diaelectric grease goes along way when making these connections.

[@GustavG10]

I have the same connectors,this was very useful , thank you.

[@kellycowett6254]

In my experience with crimpers and connectors. Is I mess up at least 3 or 4 before finally getting the good crimps

[@mygiguser]

that sounds about right

[@soemardi8885]

Hi, thats pretty detailed for me. But do you know how much power it can handle??

[@mygiguser]

The ones i use in my video have the follow specs (I don't know if that's true, but that's what the Ebay seller writes) Suitable for Cars, Motorbikes, Trucks, Caravans, Boats and other Marine Vehicles Rated Voltage: 300V Rated Current: 12A 1.5mm Terminal Pin Number: 1/2/3/4/5/6 Working Temperature: -25~85 Degree Waterproof Class: IP68 Material: Plastic

Very helpful video. Thanks for your help.

[@petecurran3995]

Well done, S 11:24 ir and thanks - tricky work! 👌🏻

[@PuddyIzzy]

Love the vid! By the looks of it your wire is like an 18 awg? Do you think I can accept 16 awg or is it too thick?

[@mygiguser]

They say 22 to 16 AWG works with the ones in the video!

[@PuddyIzzy]

@@mygiguser thank you for the info ^^

[@Halerno]

Really great & helpful!! I've the same connectors but was unsure how to use them, just did not remember. But now it is all clear. Great mistakes btw 😅 And, you need a good pair of glasses too, it's all a bit tiny... ;-)

[@rogercrier9115]

I personaly apply liberal amounts of the anti corrosion liquid called ACF50, both to the stripped wire end so it wicks down the copper strands, and to the silicon seals. It is a bit like WD40 on steroids, and is used as an anti corrosion film on aircraft and mototcycles. I also noticed that you had the ears that wrap around the seal get crimped in the same way as the copper, in that the ears got folded inwards on themselves. It is usual to have the seal ears overlap one another and get gently squeezed so that they form a circle around the outer part of the seal. Remember that when the connectors are separated water can get into the vital pins, so if you also give the internals a squirt of ACF50 and the water gets in, it will not be able to get to the metal of the pin and cause havoc ✅

[@Danishis4fun]

What’s the wire AWG?

[@martinnunez6918]

Thank you !

[@jonathanshr9373]

what kind of a crimp tool did you use?

[@terlaristrending]

Hi sir, minute 12:31 after red plastic goes inside we can hear click sound means it has been locked. How to remove back/take out the red plastic out of the housing?

[@mooman351]

How do you know which part of the crimping tool is best to use, there are multiple spots and I struggle to know which one is best

[@mygiguser]

That is actually a good question. For me it's easy since i use the tools all the time. At the beginning it may be a bit trial and error, if the tool or the crimp doesn't come with an instruction. Use the spot that is closest to the final shape of the crimp.

[@RoyerRogers545]

Waterproof = impervious to water. I’ve used plenty of these and consider them to be water resistant = able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely.

[@lukaszM46]

yeah i just put together a 3pin connector as a test and found water inside after a submerge test. not great, but cheap, not something i would use on a car though

[@itchy7727]

​@dudekidPL what would you use? I have a jeeps, and want better water resistance....

[@seanb1081]

@@itchy7727 You could try using a self-fusing tape, like "Tommy Tape" Electrical insulation and used to fix pipe leaks. However, you wouldn't be able to undo the connection again as the tape chemically fuses to itself. Brilliant stuff!

[@509632]

Honest video. If you don't make mistakes, you never learn...How do you remove the red stopper on the male part.

[@frankedoodle6925]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@ArtBuddyIndian]

can they securely hold wires with 0.05 mm diameter

[@mygiguser]

No way. They can't, that is too thin.

[@ArtBuddyIndian]

@mygiguser what's the minimum size needed for the wire to get secured inside the connector please specify

[@alexbare7181]

I find if I place the pin in the tool and click it to the first locking point it holds the pin in the tool correctly while I align everything else hassle free

[@ZOMBuckaCurt]

My red things inside the one side of connecters are all already locked into place in the kit i got so i cant get any of these to lock properly

[@RafaelJimenez-hz9gu]

Can you please tell me what tool is needed and how to remove the pins thank you

[@mygiguser]

YOu remove the red plastic lock piece, and then push the pins back with a screw driver, or pull on the wire.

[@OhioFred]

Great information

[@fishycomics]

if i had to waterproof one I silicone it. thanks for the video great tips

[@mygiguser]

once you silicone it you can't disconnect again. A connector is there to be able to do that, otherwise you wouldn't cut the wire.

[@keeganharmon8595]

@@mygiguser I presume the gentleman above meant silicone paste/grease, as in dielectric silicone grease, not the silicone sealant variant.
