- In this, "How To video", I talk about Weather Pack Connectors.
I Assemble and Disassemble, Weather Pack connectors. I have used these connectors for a long time.
I think I like the new Deutsch Connectors better, with the exception:
1) That everything is smaller, harder for these fat fingers to maneuver the small parts
2) Harder for these old eyes to see the numbers on the backs of the connectors and to thread the wire into the connector.
I do like the positive feeling of the connections, and will be making the switch. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Put the seal on the wire first, then strip the insulation. Otherwise you can snag a copper hair into the seal damaging it. Also, the tool has a step in the ratchet mechanism which serves the purpose to hold the connector in the tool while you insert the wire into the right position.
Thanks! This was just the explanation and how-to that I was looking for!
Thanks! You've explained this perfectly!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing.
This was the first video of yours that I've seen so I didn't know what you were talking about with the other connector. Very useful video 👍
Thanks
glad to see a pro like you pinches those pesky things first as well like me, I was ready to blame my crappy tools - ha ha
They are a pain.
deutsch is top shelf indeed especially with the OEM and the solid pins but damn they are expensive. ive been using the weatherpack and do like them. the time it takes me to put together an engine harness i don't want to worry about an issue to i solder the pins after I've crimped them. a good clean hot iron and solder with lead works well.
Hard to find good lead solder with the government regulations on solder / lead contain.
I have just watched the video... good stuff. It's hard to find anything on the weather proof connectors and especially the crimper. I have bought 3 different types and only sort of works. I am buying another one as I want it to work right the first time. The one that I am buying is similar to the one in the PDF mentioned below. Good job mate.
Thank You.
Great video and used that same connector on my bike for my stator!
Thank You.
What brand crimpers are those ?
Thank you.
Glad it was of help.
Shame, nobody tells, what kind of crimping tool / ratchet one needs. I bought one from a Chinese seller. Hope, it will do what desired... But still: nicely made video!
Sorry, Klein Tools, Katapult, 11063w
good video
Glad you enjoyed
At 5:16, you say you’ve never gotten a clear answer and you put the pins in the male. The instructions for the 22 Pin bulkhead connector say to put the pins in the female and the sleeves in the male. I learned this the hard way. The male connector is tapered to guide the mail pins which would be located in the female connector into the sleeves. dalhems.com/f/d/f083f2e16ec948ecb46ea2f400da5c5a/40130.pdf
Thank you.
Those ratcheting crimpers are nice but do the authentic non-ratcheting Delphi Weatherpack Crimpers work better?
I do not know. Only have these.
weatherpack sends the ratcheting style with their complete kits..
Could you please post a link to that wire stripping tool that you used (that exact one, not a similar design)? Thank you in advance, and for the video.
Can you list all the tools you are using in this video?
Can you share where to buy the crimping tool or size of the die set?
Thanks for share! Nice video!
Where I can buy the tools and connectors?
Amazon has everything.
Made these for the first time at work a couple days ago. A little confusing, but I’ll get it down eventually. One question though; it doesn’t matter which goes into which connector? Pins go male and barrels go female? Or it doesn’t matter?
I do not have a good answer for you. I have always put the barrels on the hot side and the pins into the connector that looks like pins???????
I have the same crimper. Can you tell me where to get the dies to fit the Weather Pack and or MC4 connectors?
I am sorry, I can not, I bought mine years ago and I do not remember where.
@@ThrottleStopRacing It's called the Pro's Kit. If you look it up by name you will find the company and be able to order other dies for the crimping frame.
What do you mean they are not as positive? What does that mean?
Thank you
There is an example in the video, at one point I am tested that the pin is seated correctly and it pulls out of the connector. I reseat it and all seems fine. This happens from time to time with these weather pack connectors. I have not had it happen yet with the Deutsch connectors. Also I have had the pins misalign when you assemble the connector to each other.
how do you disassembly the flat blade weather pack connectors not the barrel and pin connectors
I'm not sure, but I think you slide a small screw driver down the flat blade of the connector and that pushes back the tab that holds the blade in place, I have not done one in a long time. Sorry.
@@ThrottleStopRacing yep... that works.. I have a tool for doing them and is just a thin blade
i can dig
What brand and model number crimper are you using?
Sorry, Klein Tools, Katapult, 11063w
@@ThrottleStopRacing that is the model number of the wire stripper. What is the model number of the crimper? Thank you.
@@Alvor315 The stripper is Klein Tools, Katapult, the crimper I'll get for you in the morning, Thanks
Can you slide those seals a lot further back and solder the wires onto the pins instead, then slide back the seals. I hate crimpers to be honest. Thanks
Not sure that would work as the pins are a tight fit into the plugs.
@@ThrottleStopRacing I ended up using a blob of solder on each pin. Worked out great and what with the crimp, is "belt and braces". very impressed with these plugs that I used to replace 40 year old connectors on a DeLorean (Rear lights).
What’s that yellow handled disconnect tool called?

There are cheaper ones but they usually come in a kit. I hope this helps.
The only reason to use these things is to fix an existing connection that uses them. Hence why I’m watching this video. Deutsch are way better in my opinion.
I agree.

Sorry, I do try and keep that to a minimum.
