Video Transcript for Complete Breakdown of the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we take a look at the Deka yellow butt connectors for the 12 to 10 gauge size wire. And this is for a quantity of 10 connectors. Now these yellow butt connectors will join two lengths of 12 gauge or 10 gauge size wire and they'll insulate the connection with this heat shrinkable nylon for adjustability and durability. The yellow color will indicate the size wire that this connector will fit which is the 12 to 10 gauge size. And if you're not sure or remember which color fits what it is also stamped on the connector itself 12 dash 10 AWG.

Now to install these connector it's pretty simple. All you have to do is take the two wires you're wanting to connect. And at the end of it, strip off about a quarter of vincent quarter inch of the insulation, so you have a bare wire on each end and then you'll take the first wire and you'll stick it all the way into this side and push it until it goes as far as it will right in there's this metal casing in the center here, right in the middle there's a stopper. So when you put your wire in, it'll stop automatically. So just push it in all the way make sure your strip portion is under that metal casing and then take your crimper and just push down on that to crimp that wire to that side.

And then you'll do the same with the second wire. Take the strip den slide it all the way into it'll go no further make sure it's under the metal casing, crimp that end. And then once they're both crimp what you probably want to do is pull on the wires to make sure you got a good connection. Once that's good, then what you'll do is take a heat source, like a heat gun and then just apply heat up and down along this nylon here and it'll shrink over the insulation to completely seal around the connection and it prevents the elements from getting into that connection to cause a problem. Once that's all done, you're all set.

It's all ready to go. Now this part is for a quantity of 10 connectors. We do also sell it in a single pack which is part number DW Oh five seven four five dash one. And we also sell it in a five pack which is part number DW Oh five seven four five dash five but that should do it for the review on the Deka yellow butt connectors for the 12 to 10 gauge size wire for a quantity of 10..

  • Parts Needed To Add Electric Drum Brakes To A Pontoon Trailer
    Hey Jeremy, Typically with boat trailers the manufacturer will install hydraulic surge brakes because you don't have to worry about the water damaging wires like you would with electric brakes. That being said, if you use a heat shrink butt connector # DW05745-10 you'll be able to protect your electrical connections and shouldn't have a problem. To add brakes you'll need to check the axle/spindle to see if you have a brake mounting flange. If you don't then you'll have to buy new axles...

  • Recommended Solution to Re-Wire 4 Way Trailer Plug with 8 Wires
    I have a solution for you, but you will need to cut off your existing plug and re-wire this to a new 4 way connector. Your current trailer plug appears to have wires for the left (yellow) and right (green) turn signal, brown wires for the running light circuits on the left and right side of the trailer (one for each side), ground wires for all of these independent of each other and a ground for the plug itself that connects to all of the other wires. I recommend using the Wesbar Wishbone...

  • Tekonsha Prodigy Electronic Brake Cable Replacement for Damaged One Dragging on Road
    Easiest solution we can offer for replacing the 7-way and lead of your Prodigy RF part # TK94FR is to hardwire in the part # H20042 in place of the one you lost. Or you could even cut the loom on both side of what you have, strip back the wiring, and then butt end connect all of the connections. For a set of ten butt connectors you'd then want the part # DW05745-10.

  • Can Electric Brakes be Used on a Boat Trailer
    Traditionally, trailer manufacturers did not use electric brakes on boat trailers because the brake magnet wiring and trailer wiring did not always have the best insulation or water protection. These days, more and more manufacturers are using electric brakes on boat trailers due to improvements in wiring insulation and heat shrink connectors. If you are going to use electric brakes, I strongly recommend using heat shrink butt connectors, like part # DW05745-10, when splicing the wires...

  • Parts Needed to Replace 12" Disc Brakes with Electric Drum Brakes
    Hey Eric! Are you wanting to change from disc brakes to electric hub and drums, or are you just wanting to replace the rotors themselves? Traditionally 10" brakes are only compatible with up to 15" wheels but if yours have been working just fine then I can help you out with replacements. The 10" Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-26-27 will work if you have 3,500 lb axles and a square 4-bolt brake mounting flange (2-7/8" apart on center) but you'll also need 2 of the 10" Hub and Drum...

  • Connectors Needed To Tie Into A Turn Signal Circuit
    Hi Matt, If you're saying that you need connectors to splice into the tail light wiring then we simply use heat shrink butt connectors. You'd cut the tail light wire and place one side in the butt connector, twisted together with your wire running to the 7-way and then place the other side of the tail light wire into the other side of the butt connector to complete the connection. These come in different sizes to fit various wire gauges: 22-18 Gauge # DW05743-10 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-10 12-10...

  • Hydraulic Drum Brake to Electric Drum Brake Conversion for 8-247 Hubs
    To convert your 8-247 Dexter hubs # 84546UC3 from hydraulic to electric, you can simply use the same hubs if they are in good shape. If you don't need to replace them, I recommend updating the bearings and seal since you have them apart. For your inner bearing you want # L68149, for your outer bearing # L44649, and then grease seal # 58846. Then for the brake assemblies, I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # 23-468-469...

    We can get you set up to tow your jet ski trailer and add electric brakes, but let's go ahead and start with the brake controller for your 2018 VW Tiguan. Since the vehicle already has a factory 4-flat, you would just need to add the 7-way and wiring along with the controller.

  • Electric Brake Compatibility on a Boat Trailer
    Electric brakes on a boat trailer are able to be used without much issue at all. There obviously is an issue with water and electricity, so it is recommended to disconnect the trailer connection when your trailer is being submerged for launch. A few seconds after pulling out of the water, you can connect your wiring without any issues and have the functioning braking system that is easier to maintain. Many boat trailers are moving to electric systems. I do recommend using dielectric...

    Hey Dan, The info you provided does tell us a bit about the axle but isn't enough to look up what components go with with it. With it being a 3,500lb axle it's probably a generic 3,500lb kit for the bearings and seals but I'd hate to not be 100% sure before ordering. Can you send me a picture of the axle tag sticker and I can look up the bearings and seals? When replacing brake assemblies you should always replace both sides of the axle at the same time so for the brake assemblies you...

    I'll start by covering the axle since this information is important for other components as well. The first thing you want to do is identify your axle capacity. Since this is a tandem axle trailer and you're thinking 7,000 lb capacity you probably have tandem 3,500 lb axles. Take a look and see if you have the capacity listed on axle tags. If not, you can measure the diameter of the axle. A typical 3,500 lb axle has a 2-3/8" diameter. If you find that you have a 3,500 lb axle, and your...
