Thread: Wiring Harness Terminations

Tweet

Another detailed quetion on terminating. I have three pin/plug connectors for dash wiring that I need to complete. The pins are loose, to be installed on the various sensor/power wires and inserted into the proper plug location. The base of each pin has two sets of tabs, one skinny to wrap the insulation at the base, and a heavier one to wrap the insulation. I have been told that these are a mechancial connector, to carefully bend the tabs down and crimp without destroying the shape, and that for OEM connectors people take them apart and re-terminate them. What is the proper method of installing these pins to the wires, since they cannot have any added bulk on the outside of the pins?
