    Just so you know, you can also use an inexpensive hammer type terminal crimper to get the job done! I placed a link in the video description area. Thanks for watching, and thanks for your support!

      I don't think most people have a 16-ton crimper. So okay, how does it look/work with the hammer crimper? That seems more realistic.

    • @electronicsNmore

      You can use a hammer crimper, but I really prefer the hammer type shown below. You can look online for deals. They work really good.

      I make cable lugs for work, there’s no difference except we use things like a 50-200t press and a 16-50t punch to squash and punch holes. Exact same process. Large drill bit and a belt sander removes all the burrs. Brass copper aluminium ect are all done the same as shown. We just stamp the logo as a trademark. You can do this all on a bench shop press.

    1:00 you can use your hydraulic press to flatten this part.
    I inserted the cable first all the way to the end (as if its a ferrule), crimp half the usual way, and then flatten the other half using the hydraulic press' flat surface. (has to be a very strong hydraulic press though as this is one thick solid thing.

    I've made these before out of copper pipe, but since I don't have a crimper I just heated up the lugs with a blow torch, filled them with molten solder, and stuck in the fluxed cable to make a completely solid solder connection.
    BTW, I never did find that chart of pipe diameter to cable gauge size.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That works, but you don't want to overheat the connection causing all the solder to wick up into the cable making it stiff. I posted 2 charts, one shows wire size OD, and the other shows pipe side ID.

    Can you solder the tubing to the cable? I realize that the solder joint would probably have to be made first, if you don't want to melt the insulation or have to strip it way back and then replace it with shrink tubing, then the tubing could be flattened and shaped into a lug. I ask because I don't have any sort of crimper, hydraulic or mechanical and would like to know if a solder joint would be as good, conductively, as a mechanical joint.

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Always an excellent video - glad to see crimping get the love it deserves! So many makers solder high current cables only to discover that when everything else is copper, solder is the highest resistance material in the chain. Heat will build here first, making it the first thing to fail. I could only add one word of advice here...GLOVES. Copper has a burning desire to be one with you..your fingers, to be painfully specific. For weeks. Cut edges, burrs, the slightest tool marks on soft copper wire or tubing can raise an army of insidious bastards determined to educate you on how miserable your life can become from a simple splinter.

    Thank you for the video. That was Easy-Peasy.
    BUT, the money you saved making the lug won't cover the cost of the file that gets dull from your MIS-USE!!!
    Never, BUT NEVER use a file like you did in this video! Always push the file in a forward motion. When you reach the end, lift the file, return to the starting point, and push the file forward again. Continue this method until you achieve the finish you desire. Never DRAG a file BACKWARDS to the starting point. This causes the teeth to be broken and/or become worn beyond use (dull). I learned that in 1979, from a LU 798 Pipeliner. 45 years later, I still have that ½ round bastard file. The ½ round side is a kind of worn, but the flat side is in pretty good shape. It's a 12 in Nicholson, made in the USA.

      There's zero chance of damaging a file made out of Steel on copper

      I made one when I was just uploading videos for the hell of it, and in the other video I soldered the terminal.

      I have a much older video that's popular. It was made when I was living on an island in the Bahamas. Back then I uploaded videos to my channel for fun, now it's a job, so the quality of my videos are a much higher level now. In that video I soldered the 4ga connector to the cable. Thanks for watching!

    Nothing cheap about that. Unless you’re a customer that calls plumbers crooks. Build this and now you see why shits expensive

      It's far cheaper to do what I did using a copper tube than buying a connector.

      After over 560 videos where all I do is talk, I'm more than entitled. That comment was a foolish one, I keep very close track of my true supporters. The video was very well done, and there were annotations explaining everything.
