Re: Alternate 12V Connector Manufacturer Recommendations?

Here are my connector recommendations; they aren’t the cheapest but also not Ancor expensive. For disconnects I find the crimp spade terminals inadequate so I use Anderson instead. Also, for wires that go into screw connectors like for shore power plugs or into terminals on inverters etc. I use ferrules.

Last but not least, sometimes it becomes too bulky and you want the smallest option, especially for small data wires. In that case I use the solder connectors that work with a heat gun.

Links for all those:

Re: Alternate 12V Connector Manufacturer Recommendations?

They are not 12v connectors they are just connectors rated for what you want to do ! Crimp connectors come in all shapes and sizes and materials. Stay away from aluminum (somebody needs to tell modern boat mfcts) they oxidize and disintegrate. Crimping is more about the crimp tool than the crimps.

Electrical Depot is another place I've used:

I buy un-insulated terminals and shrink tube separately so I can solder the terminals

Re: Alternate 12V Connector Manufacturer Recommendations?

I've done well buying 3M heatshrink butt connectors on eBay.
35 cents a piece in quantities of 100.
