RickM46 posted:Thanks a bunch Volphin!! I am about to order a bunch of these connectors from MCM; but, just to verify, will the female end of the connector fit the Fastrack spade terminal on the underside of the Fastrack??
Yes. That is all I use on my Fastrack. There are two crimp points. One is for the bare wire (closest to the female, and the one on the end holds the wire with insulated jacket. Crimp the bare wire onto the connector, then the rest of it into the other. I just use needle nose pliers for the crimps. Next, hold the connector with the needle nose pliers on the top of your soldering iron tip right below the bare wire connection at a 45 degree angle. It won't take long to heat up. Touch the solder to it, being careful not to let it flow into the female connector where the spade goes. (Hence the 45 degree angle). Slip it over your fastrack spades and enjoy!
I use the automotive zip wire from MCM as well. It is red and black, and a darn good price. Search for product 24-1880 (16 AWG, 250 ft.) and 24-1870 (18 AWG, 100ft). It also comes in 14 AWG.
