Can you solder these instead of crimping?

You can, but it makes it a lot easier to insert them if you crimp them with the proper crimper. I use the TC-1 crimper and the crimped wire/contact just slides in to the housing with very little effort.

If they are the same physical size and you have a way to interconnect them. They are often connected with spot welded tabs. some battery outfitters have the welder. Soldering wire works of you have experience (you must sand the pads and use rosin, have an appropriately sized iron) at it and do not overheat/damage them. Be aware that if you damage them they can spontaneously combust.

Hello M you can go either way I crimped mine with the crimper on my stripper just take your time with each one I have never soldered my connections. There is nothing wrong with soldering it is a good idea if you have the time and ability, however if you just take your time with crimping you will be fine I have never had a crimp come apart and I am running around 3000 true watts now. Hope this helped you M. Take care

Yes they can. It would be easy with a little wire cutter (pair of pliers has a cutting edge or just use it to pry). Don't need a wire cutter. Just pry the thin metal connecters and remove.

No, they can't be uncrimped. They would have to be cut with a rotary cutting tool.

No. Watch a few youtube videos. If you know how to solder it isn't too complicated.

No, they need to be soldered . programing card not necessary but I would recommend it

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.

Yes. If not, they should be soldered to the center conector of the balance pot.

no, not really. This tool does an excellent job ...can take or leave the plastic side mounted terminal holder. You can, with care, some skill and a decent set of crimp pliers, achieve a similar quality of crimp. Soldering with a big soldering iron may also be an option, once the tangs are wrapped over your wire. No matter what the method, the use of an anti corrosive/sealant is an excellent idea if connector is outdoors, as backside of an MC4 might not seal out the elements completely.

You can, but I wouldn't use solder. They make connection clips so you don't have to solder at all. The reason is because it has 4 very small contacts that need to be separate or it won't work

Yes you can use silicone, hot glue, or double stick tape. For soldering tips I use pencil tip iron n low melt solder to prevent over heating of strip copper n plastic. Hope this answer helps

Yes, that is what they are intended to do. However, it is not easy to attach these to the LED strips so that the connection is good and they adhere well. I expect to need to replace these with soldered connections when these fail. But for the price, you may find these worth a try.

While you could certainly try, I do not believe this is the correct crimper for these crimps. There is no alignment die to hold the crimp in place for proper crimping. I would say if you had one or two to do and lots of the many others that this tool is right for, buy it. If you have many of the Delphi (and specifically in bulk), this is no the tool to buy.

That might not be the best idea, but if you really want to just take both leads and twist them together and crimp them in the connector

I've never tried, but probably not. For a dual-purpose gun that is used for electrical work as well as structural soldering, that would not be a particularly strong selling point. You are probably looking for welding or brazing tools, not soldering guns, if you want to actually melt wiring.

Yes they can. They have marks every 3' I believe, maybe every 1'. Once cut you just have to remove some of the rubber coating to expose the solder terminals to connect your wiring to the new smaller sections.
