I’m wiring something in my car that has a aluminum wire coming out of it, I need to lengthen the wire and was wondering if I can use come copper wire I have. From watching this a guess I can? Thx
Hi man, sorry for being late here. Sure, but I would definitely recommend using something that will separate direct contact between copper and aluminum.
Wago and wire nut connectors clearly state “only for copper to copper connections” NEVER USE THESE FOR CONNECTING COOPER TO ALUMINUM!!!! Alumiconn connectors are expensive for a reason, they won’t burn your house down….

Very interesting to see that all of the connection above are wrong, never use aluminum and copper in these kind of connections.

Are those connectors rated for both aluminum and copper.
Last two for sure

QUESTION: Since the WAGO is a spring clamp it should be much better when Aluminum expands and contracts., The screw doesn't move. Comment?
Good question. Here is i better view over what is good and bad for aluminum wire connections ua-cam.com/video/Ejmeh-i07jA/v-deo.html

Sure thing... I have more about that here ua-cam.com/video/Ejmeh-i07jA/v-deo.html
Are you sure Wago is not safe for Alu to Copper? Wires are not touching each other
WRONG! WAGO are not rated for aluminum and copper connections..
Really?
Don't do any of these. COPALUM or AlumiConn are the only acceptable connectors for aluminum to copper pigtails/connections.
got it
Wrong all of them
