What is an eyelet connector?

An eyelet connector is a type of electrical connector used to join or terminate wires securely. It typically consists of a metal ring with a hole in the center that allows a wire to be inserted and then crimped or soldered to create a reliable electrical connection. Eyelet connectors are commonly used in automotive, marine, and industrial applications for their durability and ability to withstand high temperatures.

How to crimp eyelet lugs?

To crimp eyelet lugs, follow these steps: Strip wire insulation to expose copper. Insert wire into eyelet lug. Use crimping tool to compress metal around wire. Avoid overheating to prevent damage.

How to use ring crimp connectors?

To use ring crimp connectors, follow these steps: Strip wire insulation. Insert wire into the ring connector. Crimp the metal around the wire securely. Apply heat to shrink the tubing for a waterproof seal. Avoid overheating to prevent damage.

How to connect two ring connectors together?

To connect two ring connectors together, follow these steps: Strip the wires to expose the bare copper. Insert each wire into a ring connector. Crimp the metal around the wires securely. Ensure a strong connection without over-melting the shielding.

Eyelets work by providing a secure and durable connection for wires. The thick copper barrel ensures a strong crimp, minimal voltage drop, and high current flow. The dual-walled insulation tubing is flame-retardant and waterproof, making it ideal for various applications.

How to crimp eyelets?

To crimp eyelets, strip wire, insert into eyelet connector, crimp metal around wire securely, and heat to seal. Avoid overheating to prevent damage. Eyelets are ideal for automotive, marine, and industrial applications.

What tools are needed for crimping eyelets?

To crimp eyelets, you typically need the following tools: Crimping tool Wire stripper Heat gun or lighter Solderstick Ring Connectors These tools ensure a secure connection for various wiring applications.

Can eyelet connectors be reused?

Eyelet connectors are not designed to be reused due to the nature of their construction. Once crimped and sealed, attempting to reuse them may compromise the integrity of the connection and lead to potential safety hazards or unreliable performance. It is recommended to use new connectors for each wiring application to ensure proper functionality and safety.

What sizes do ring eyelets come in?

Ring eyelets come in three sizes: red for 22-18 AWG, blue for 16-14 AWG, and yellow for 12-10 AWG. Each size corresponds to a specific wire range and maximum current capacity for various electrical applications.

Gabriel

Verified Buyer

Using a heat gun they provided and it was super easy to slip it on, twist the wires and slip it back on to solder and seal in one swoop is wicked cool! Very happy! Gave them

William

Verified Buyer

Work excellent! Seal AND solder wires together! I just hit them for about 15 seconds with my heat gun till shrink tube shrunk then solder melted to wire leads...boom, done!

Brad

Verified Buyer

This solder sleeve works exactly how it is described & kills two birds with one stone of soldering wire as well as sealing the connection. It is a huge time-saver.

Kevin

Verified Buyer

After about 5 seconds the rubber material started to shrink. At about 9 seconds the solder started to melt & bond the wires. I gave the wires a firm tug & there were super tight.

Stanley

Verified Buyer

I have found that if there are any wires out of alignment, there is a chance they will poke through the plastic, especially if you over-heat. per instructions, be sure NOT to squeeze the lead ring - it will crack, and then not melt to seal properly....

Michael

Verified Buyer

This is the perfect solution to splicing wires. You strip the ends of the wires to be spliced, put the ends into the tube and then run the hair dryer to heat up and activate the bead of solder inside the tube and shrink the plastic ends to form a splice that will not fall apart the second you release the joint.

Fred

Verified Buyer

I used a heat gun. It was satisfying to see the solder melt as the ends crimped down to make a strong waterproof connection. Perfect for the new LED spotlights on my Jeep.

Ryan

Verified Buyer

I had rats chew through some wiring on my car used these and they work fantastic! All you got to do is just strip the wire put the wire in and use a Bic lighter to heat up the whole thing evenly and then that's it you're done. Repeat buyer
