Hi Guys, Not truly a crimp expert. I needed to crimp two wires on a single (flag) connector. See pictures. It will carry 230V (will be connected to the power switch off a miter-saw FWIW). Anybody here to confirm wetter this is correctly done? Not truly happy myself, but to me it seems it just a bit of two much wire :-[ I did measure the connector to the old one, they are same size (wing seem slightly different) and I'm using exactly same cable. Thanks! |

I'd add some solder for the loose strands. |

Wire is too long. Don't solder it either as it defeats one of the the purposes of using a crimp terminal (solder is less conductive than the cold weld of a properly formed crimp). |

General consensus with most countries electrical codes is never solder mains wire connections, Your wire is oversized for the crimp as the insulation retention does not really wrap the insulation well (chance of pop out) Equally you have unconfined strands, If they flick out and touch something it could cause greif I would say trim the copper length to only have a 0.5mm stickout, At a bare minimum that will reduce the risk, |
