Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the wire is stripped to the appropriate length before inserting it into the connector sleeve. Use a professional-grade crimping tool designed for insulated connectors to ensure the brass internal sleeve is securely fastened to the wire strands. While these connectors are durable, keep them stored in their original blister pack to prevent debris from entering the sleeves. They are compatible with universal automotive electrical systems, specifically tested for use with Man, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo equipment. Avoid exposure to environments exceeding 75C, as this will degrade the PVC insulation and may lead to short circuits.
