So I'm trying to hook buttons up to my Ultimarc U360 button harness. The wire gauge is tiny, 26 AWG if I read the tiny print on the wire right. Anyway I'm trying to use solderless, push-on crimp terminators and they don't crimp very well. I thought I had the smallest. Is it possible to connect these wires to the microswitches without soldering? |
| MonMotha:
AWG26 pretty much doesn't crimp into any of those quick connect terminals nicely. If you fold it back over on itself a few times, it might hold. Smallest wire that reliably holds in a red terminal is generally AWG22 or maybe AWG24 if you're lucky. Stranded wire holds better than solid. |

I just folded it over a few times. Crimped on just fine. |
| Kevin Mullins:
I'll usually strip a little extra, fold it over itself and the fold it over the sheathing as well, then crimp. |

Never thought of folding them over. I think I will give that a try. Thanks! :cheers: |
