Crap connections like these just cause tons of wasted time and regret down the road.

Can't necessarily argue on that point. These are cheap connectors for quick and dirty jobs that don't need permanence.



So, here, we part ways. Based on research by NASA, crimped connectors result in better performance and reliability than soldered connections. You still need good crimps and good crimping processes, but for truly mission critical you want crimps for wire to wire connections, not soldered joints.

This is just a crap connection at any price point! You can if you really want to, but I wouldn't if I were you. Crap connections like these just cause tons of wasted time and regret down the road. Strip, solder, heat shrink, dielectric grease, it's the 'only' way to do this job right!

that is better. but, liquid tape over this achieves the same thing. also, you are ignoring that THESE type of connections are meant for disconnect situations. BIG DIFFERENCE

It's not as much as type as overall quality of these massively produced and sold at dirt cheap prices. From my experience good quality brands like 3M and ones sold at marine supply will have much better quality than these. Some even use paper thin chrome plated brass instead of tinned copper which not only makes them worse in conducting but holding together as well.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Sirmixpix

Amazon has a huge problem with removing unfavorable reviews and promoting this dangerous garbage type connectors. Don't trust cheap crap when it comes to important things like wiring and electrical.

Louis Rossmann has been bringing attention to this type of bad products and has some good food for thought videos recently regarding these issues. Worth a watch.

I own an ungodly number of all sorts of electrical connectors, but hardly any of these, because they are horrible.

That's a nice tool you're using, but there are others.
I normally use the Gardner Bender. And nothing comes apart. I've been doing this stuff for over 50 years. I strongly suggest using crimps with heat shrink jackets.

I don't know, but I'd advise spending a buck or two more for something from a reliable brand instead of a random made up Chinese brand with self promoted ad on Slickdeals.

Bro, it's NASA. Trust me!

Properly prepped, soldered, and finished connections FTW. These connections impart impedance and failure points. The *only* advantage these cheap quick connects have is, as someone else stated, as a disconnect point. They should not be used as a permanent solution.

I used these years ago one time and they are not sharp, resulting in poor connections unless you nick the insulation first 🙄

This research is due to most people not knowing how to solder correctly nor with a deeper understanding of cold solder joints. They are also comparing crimps done by crimpers that are $500 versus the $10 wire stripper crimp that the average person has. It also depends a lot on how much movement the wire is expecting. If it's moving a ton, the solder does become brittle and that's where we go to crimp more. For wires that are braced properly I certainly prefer solder.

For myself on something that I want a disconnect on, I typically just use DT/DTM/DTP connectors with "solid" pins (four way crimp). The crimpers for those were "reasonable" in price compared to the stuff I use at work($100 iirc). If I am really just connecting two wires together that I never want to worry about again, I solder it 100% of the time and use marine based heatshrink (glue inside).

These T-Connectors are a joke. When I was growing up and getting into cars I used them a few times and they've caused me many headaches.

Take it from an Engineer that worked on development of terminals and connectors, soldering will always produce a superior connection. Crimp on connectors will slowly increase in resistance due to oxidation, especially in an outdoor environment. Solder whenever you can and you will not have to worry about that joint again.
This is an odd one. I know that this (as most things) is situation dependent.

Applications where the joint has a lot of motion or vibration tend to have better performance with crimped solutions.

I know that the automobile, boating, and RV industries use crimps as a best practice.

That being said, I'm not sure sure what the quality is of this material.

People car argue about which type of connector is better (crimp vs solder) but we can all agree that these connectors, even when implemented correctly, are garbage. The ones here are most likely the worse quality connectors for the worse quality splice you can do. Don't buy it.

I've only used this type of connector once because it's what I had at the time... put in a new headlight socket in my car. 10+ years later, it's still working fine.
Does it mean that you don't need this guy's "$95 per hour service"? Oh, my, can't be, according to him (and, yes, I'm a EE by education, so know a bit about connectors).

True, but as an engineer you should certainly be familiar with a concept of "good enough for a job". I am.
