I'm using the "uninsulated ring terminals" for 4 awg wire from the 

contractors to my bus and alternator. Are the terminals sold by B&C 

meant to be crimped or soldered? If crimped where can I get a 

crimper big enough to handle 4 awg. B&C only sells ones that handle 

up to 10 awg wire.



Thanks,

Michael-


	


    Crimp tools for the larger terminals are

    pretty pricey. Further, most airplanes will

    need only a handful of large terminals. Consider

    soldering un-insulated terminals and dressing

    out with heat shrink. See:

I've got one of those wack-types that I'd like to get rid of. I 

wasn't happy with the results, but perhaps someone else coudl do 

better. I anyone is in the market for one, send me a note.


	


   The problem with beat-n-bash crimpers is lack

   of verification for having achieved a gas-tight

   joint.

   Without vetting the marriage of wire-to-terminal-to-tool,

   the easiest way to maximize copper in the wire grip is

   to stuff wire-wedges into the matrix and then fill all

   voids with free-flow of an electronic grade 63/37 solder.

   Works good, lasts a long time.
