Some of the Best Butt Connectors You'll Ever See (No, Really!)

John Endacott of NSPA (National Standard Parts Associates) shows us how to use the best electrical butt connectors we've ever seen, including NSPA's innovative line of crimp and solder connectors.

Ever thought auto electrical stuff was boring? You may be surprised at how interesting it can be when you see how unique NSPA connectors are. Once you see this video, you'll never settle for anything less. All NSPA electrical components are available from Andy's Auto Sport - your source for aftermarket automotive accessories!

better close up of products and process would have been much better than view of you two standing around table talking about it.

Solder splices are commonly used on aircraft for convenience and repeatability. (We kept them on USAF bench stock.) Not cheap but if you've a need for them they work nicely. Aircraft harness repair often involves working next to wire bundles so we'd use a heat gun with a shield on the tip to focus hot air only were we wanted it. An easy heat shield for adjacent areas can be made by cutting a soda can with scissors. Aluminum foil works too.

Been using 3M weather-pack connectors for years, it's the only way to go. NSPA brings it to a new level and I will be checking them out for future projects. Great video for those in the industry looking for real quality. Using proper tools and high quality products is key for long-term repairs. This is the stuff I really want to see more of. Thanks for bringing the NSPA rep to Andys Auto Sport to show us these great products and procedures.

Actually John did a good job explaining the product. Looks like a high quality product with a lot of thought in designing it.
Do it once, do it right.

5:09 ".. & I'm going to crimp that" salesman knuckles cracking.

I've seen these in certain automotive stores but I didn't know what they were.  Never again will I use anything but these when doing automotive applications.  Dare I say "perfect"?  Excellent product and excellent video!  Thank you to all involved with making this video.

It's a half hour long but worth all the info and know what to expect

Great video with what I am doing right now on my bike with wire repair and upgrade

[DENMONKEY]

of course you could just use a standard crimp terminal with some dual wall heat shrink tube which has glue inside that would do exactly the same thing

Hmm interesting i havent seen these before. When i splice, i prefer to use a butt connector with dielectric grease in it, crimp it then put dielectric grease in the heat shrink tubing and then shrink that. Ive been doing this for years and some have been in extreme environments without failure (100, 000+ miles in extreme mountain winter driving in underbody applications)

These connectors are awesome. I like the step down connector

[thetraveller]

Awesome guys! Thanks ...great for so much detail. Going to your online store now !

[lsz]

There is no close ups of it and no links to check it out online?

[fuzzypeach]

Great presentation but no link to purchase the connectors being demonstrated.

[SeattleRingHunter]

It's not new technology but very good advice to have professional termination practices! 👍⚡️

[marknye.thefixitguy]

I missed what brand of the Solder Seal Heat Shrink Connectors you are using or recommend ..?

[mindyourbusiness]

Walter White…is that you??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the guy with glasses looks a lot like that breaking bad character

[lJUSTwanaCOMMENT]

3M is all I buy! Those shrink ends have been available for as long as I can remember and I would be considered an old man.

It might pay to do a mic check before you make these videos and I also agree that close up on product and process's would not have gone astray.
