These are the same connectors found in many gliders as they are delivered from the factory. They are used as battery connectors. They have a positive "click" when connected and are easy to disconnect by hand without the need for any special tools. I sell the components - unassembled and without wire.
Wiring Standard?
Below is a description of how at least one Germany glider factory uses this connector. You may want to follow the standard.- The connector in the top (cross part) of the "T" was used for the common (black wire).
- The connector in the base (vertical part) of the "T" was used for +12V power (red wire).
Assembly Instructions
- Crimp and solder metal tabs onto the wire. The metal tabs on the end of the connector are to be crimped onto the wire insulation. See assembly diagram below.
- Insert the connector into the back of the housing until it clicks into place.
