Adding feeder wires using Posi-Tap PTA1218M connectors

In this video, I'll demonstrate the use of a new kind of electrical connector - well I'm not sure how new it is really, but it's new to me. I've showed them once before and that generated a lot of interest, so here I will install a few in real time for all to see (including an out-take at the end).

Haven't built a layout for my closet filled with trains, but this will definitely be a product I buy and a video I will come back to when the time comes.

I have found your videos to be super helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Is found a tip about posi-tap connectors before I knew how to solder. They worked very well but Are speedy if you have a large layout. I got used to soldering and didn’t need them anymore. Great if you want little fuss and speed.

Hello great video
What size wire do you use for feeders

[dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam]

Thanks for this idea, going to order some and try them out, not many dealers in Canada 🇨🇦

Like the speed factor!. I do prefer the spade, forks and eyes with a proper crimper tool and bus bar for my layout. I do like them again for how quick they are.

Anything that makes live easier seems to be a bit more but they sure look slick!

what kind of wire strippers do you use and where do you get them? Thanks Great Vids

[EmPtySworld]

Thank you for the update..These things are nice to have and easy to use.

[peggyandthegreenfamily]

Wow their really good solid? I use a little clamp blue and red colours only you just place the two in the clamp and snap together no cutting or trimming wire I use these on my model boat wires as you cannot get your hands inside the boat spaces still your are solid....best wishes ken

At 3:02 what kind of wire strippers are those.

[michaelmasino]

What gauge are you using for the feeders

[callie]

Hi there! I'm new to the chanel and a big fan. Can you comment on the gauge of the feeders and bus wires and where do you buy those?

[InterCity]

Neat product, thanks for demonstrating it.
Question. The twist the strands together and then screw down the black end clamp - that’s the same as a screwed to a terminal block sort of connection. Should one use a ferrule there as over time the screws down connection is likely to lossen from the stands compressing and shifting ?

[derekalexander]

I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you sit down. Lol. Great product. Are there different ones for different gauges of wire and how many feeders can fit in each one reliably?

[MRBenchwork]

Any long term review of this product? Have you had any issues with them?
