Is this best way to solder an Anderson plug???

hi everyone in this clip, I just show you a quick way to solder up an Anderson plug using a blow torch and some solder very simple easy to do take five minutes. Thanks very much for watching. Hope you enjoy PS stay safe and watch out for those flame throwers 🤣🤣

Been doing it like that for years Stephen Great clip mate

[@Sawadventures67]

Good enough for me than jack I will keep doing it this way 👍

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Been doing that for years myself mate. Cheers Steve

[@martinisadventures]

Good job Steve I do mine with an old jumper lead end

[@Sawadventures67]

Cheers mate thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

I am not safe with power tools, ect, so I use a crimping tool to make my andersen plugs. Got caught once where my caravan andersen plug came out of the car connection, I was on my way to Echuca. Luckily it was a monday so the auto electrician put a new one on. He didn't stock them so hardware had one only on the shelf. When I got home I learnt how to do my own and carry spares. Can I also say make sure you put the lug up the right way when putting on the wire. I have had to remove and redo. Lol

Good on you, use what you feel more comfortable with personally if I had a crimping tool, I would probably use it myself just don’t do enough of this to warrant buying one maybe one day I’ll get one for those small jobs soldering. It is quick and easy for me Thanks for commenting.👍👍

Wahoo fantastic Steve thanks for the demo👍

[@SlackingSince1969]

How do you know which side of the cord is up? Will it only fit into the plug one way? As in if you have it upside down it won't go in or does it make no difference which way you put it in? Dumb question I know but when I don't know or understand something, I'm not too proud to ask.

Thanks Steve 👍

Nice one mate 👍👍

Thanks Grant, keeping it short and sweet. Hopefully someone gets something out of it. That’s what it’s all about

100% 🤜🤛 👍

Hammer seal your lugs after soldering, add heat shrink to each lug to seal it properly.

[@Sawadventures67]

Cheers, thanks for that. I did not know that I will just clip them back out and give them a hit with a hammer.

[@pjf222]

I wouldn't hit them with a hammer, you'll crack the solder.@@Sawadventures67

Why do you have a piece of black electrical tape stuck on your forehead.

[@Sawadventures67]

Good question, great pick up🤣🤣

[@skoronesa1]

You really don't have a crimper for those? That's a relatively small gauge wire, easily crimped by hand.
You really shouldn't solder high amperage connections. They can easily overheat and melt the solder out if they become corroded. You can buy a simple hammer crimper for less than 20$. Even using a large punch would be better.

[@Sawadventures67]

I would crimp it if I was using it on something that was high amperage the solar panel that I’m using 4 amps I have a mate who works in the camping /electrical industry they have people coming back to them all the time saying something doesn’t work nine times out of 10. It is because it is a loose connection in an Anderson plug that has been crimped but I do understand what you’re saying about high heat for my application this is quick and easy.
