Stop Soldering—Use These Solderless Connectors Instead (320)

Soldering feeders and making splices under a model railroad can be an uncomfortable and downright dangerous job should you end up with a plash of molten solder on your face. So whenever I can find a way to avoid soldering wires I opt for it. In this video I'll introduce you to 5 types of connectors that do not require soldering and will make your wiring go a lot faster as well.

Wire nuts are available at almost any hardware store that sells electrical supplies as well as All Electronics.
All the Quick Splices, Quick Taps, and Quick Connects (spade connects) come from All Electronics.
3M 905 IDC, Push In, and Wago connectors were purchased from Amazon.
