anderson plug fitting made easy

hey viewers I did a video on fitting Anderson type plugs as these are very common today in caravanning, camping and solar setups...check the video here to easily remove the lugs from the plug housing. • Removing lugs from And... please if you like my videos ,please share them and how about you subscribe to my channel ,which will inspire me to create more video clips. thank you for watching

Is soldering needed? Can i just cramp it ?

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

You can just crimp it no worries 👍🍻

Excellent video, the removing one too. Any cripping hints - does it need special tools.
? I’ve heard hammering isn’t a proper way to do it.

[@TwoForTheRoad23]

Thanks for keeping it simple and straight to the task and not telling us what you're wearing or what colour the sky is. There's so much of that dribble on TH-cam 👍

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers mate totally agree I like to get straight to the point on my videos. Thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@robertwilson1827]

The double dribble is because the You Tube algorithm 'promotes' longer videos for more views which = more subs = potentially more $ for the video maker!

[@alfaman4113]

Well done brother you the only one who showed how the edge pointing down is inserted and close up. Thankyou mate

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

My pleasure buddy. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching 👍🍻

[@MuskokaAdventures]

Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure which way to put the terminals when you insert the wire until I saw this video. My RV Inverter works great now.

Thanks for a great video. I bought this product from Amazon and no instructions were included in the package. Now I will install the electricity for my electric motor on my boat. Best regards from Sweden.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

My pleasure ,all the best with your install and happy boating thank you for your comment and thank you for watching 👍🍻

[@KR7PT]

For anybody planning to use these for automotive use, solder can crack under vehicle vibrations which will compromise your connections. It's far better to double crimp those terminals. Also, heatshrink around the leftover exposed wire will waterproof the connections. Otherwise very detailed.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Great tips 👍 thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@HairyNumbNuts]

Agreed. Also tin the wire before you crimp it. I still like to solder after crimping, though. As the Irishman said as he pulled on a second condom....
.. to be sure, to be sure.

[@LibertyDIY]

Lead solder is easier to flow and less brittle

[@Mick_4591]

​@@EFFICIENTSELF seems to me that you cut corners in the video.
No crimping and no heat shrink covering either

[@twotwentyswift]

@@Mick_4591 Didn't you notice that he soldered rather than crimped? And heat shrink is for exposed wires or butt connections, which there weren't any 😂

Good to see someone use the same method I use as crimping cracked the lugs so I chose soldering but I found after a few years the wire corrodes and breaks off at the end of the solder joint, the flux is corrosive unfortunately maybe I have to switch brands of solder.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers mate . I have never had a problem using solder . On thick cables I usually crimp and solder . I don’t like crimping small gauge cable as I found it pulls out of the lug at times. Thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@directgrover]

Absolutely fantastic mate! I'll do it myself for the air compressor now!
Cheers

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

My pleasure buddy glad it’s helped you out. Just check the amp draw of your compressor as it might be over 50 amps you might need to go the bigger plug . All the best mate and happy plugging 👍🍻

[@chaosncheckt9356]

Most demos I see using this technique the work is done on a bench. Lets see one where the Anderson needs replacing and the wires are hanging below your rig and your solo. I just did this and let me tell you, it's a trick. I used several storage boxes to get the wire plug (held with a set of vice grips) high enough to melt the solder and then shoved in the wire. I did trim the wire so there was no exposed wire. Both plugs went into the Anderson w/o difficulty but both stopped just a hair short of the end of the wire inside the Anderson. I understand when possible you want them to push through so the lip is passed the wire. Checked everything with a meter and all seems to be working.
