Reply to "Small Pigtail Crimp Connectors For Inside Engines"

No offense John, but that's baloney!   They're MUCH larger than a two-wire splice!  I'm not saying you can't use them, but they certainly aren't nearly as small as any two-wire splice I've ever done!

This is #24 wire, the maximum size wire that these splices are rated for.  I'm pretty sure they're really rated for solid wire as well, not stranded wire.

10mm is knocking on the door to half an inch wide, I can put a dozen heatshrink splices in that space!

Looks larger than mine in that photo for some reason. ?  "Pigtail" splice is what I was comparing it to by the way.  " Not much bigger than a soldered pigtail with heat shrink tubing "

I used it for a DC motor replacement in a 2-motor O Gauge diesel.  There was plenty of room for lots of these.

Of course I solder and heat shrink lots of connections as well.  Mostly do that of course.  I used them for #22 stranded copper wire.   I am only suggesting it as an alternative to stripping, tinning, soldering, and wrapping a simple two wire joint.
