Best video I've seen yet on how to do this with a regular crimper. Thanks for the close-up shots. That really helps out!

Thanks so much - excellent video; I am using these behind the electric brake backing plates on my camping trailer (Aliner). My old wiring method kept leading to fractured wire connections.

Thanks Matt! Very clear explanation. Now I can install the plug myself on the heated seat of my motorcycle. While driving in winter weather with a toasty warm butt, I will be thanking you! 😂

I wanted to upgrade the electrical connectors on my race car to this type of connector. Your video was very helpful as I've never worked with this type before.

OHHHH, so glad I bumped into this vid

I use a little dish soap mixed in water for the seals. Works as well as the silicon lubes and is much less messy after it dries.

great video! Have to weather pack an audio harness on my bike. this will help tremendously!

[LTVoyager]

If you do a lot of these, it is worth the extra money to buy the crimper that does both wire and seal in one operation. Fast and neat.

[CristianZamora]

Having a set of pliers with teeth that crimp both at the same time is ideal

[PaulaLeLoup]

Is there a tool to help open the connector housing? It's really hard to open

Hi Matt, Thank you for the close up video. I really appreciate your excellent instruction. It was very helpful to me. 👍

I have not been able to find any information on which terminal goes to the power source of the circuit. Does Male connector with the Female terminal go toward a circuit power source, or is it the Female connector with the Male terminal the is the voltage power source for a circuit?

There must some type of standard to follow for most circuits. Thanks, Dan 😊

What size (AWG) of the wire that you used? Thank you!
