Anyone know of a heavier gauge dupont?

[LarryD]

• Silicone insulated wires with a high count of strands will solve many (if not all) flex problems.

• 22 or 24 AWG is sufficient ~3-4Amps, these can be accommodated by Dupont connectors.

• For extra strain relief, crimp a Dupont male connector, cut off the tip, flatten the remaining metal tip.

• If you are serious about the job, buy a crimper tool.

If not interested in the above, complain . . .

28 AWG DIY ferrules for screw terminals In another post, a user asked how to terminate 28 AWG wire in a screw type terminal strip. @6v6gt suggested to use a Dupont crimp connector to act as homemade ferrule. Below shows how this process can be accomplished. Add heat shrink to act as a strain relief. The colour of this heat shrink can identify the terminal number to use: Yellow would be terminal #4 Brown and Yellow would be #14, etc. [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F]
