VIOLET 16AWG Stranded 50V Automotive Hook Up Wire - 30' Length

We will do a pigtail splice. It is basic. It is easy. It is not low profile. We start out by twisting the wire together. This wire is rather robust so I will use pliers. You just twist it around like this. You want a nice, firm joint that would be good even without soldering. That mechanically sound so that when you solder it, it will not fall apart. We will go solder it. When doing joints I prefer to start away from the insulation. Then move towards it. That gives the insulation, it does not heat it up as fast (as long). It causes less melting of the insulation. Now I will leave it for a second, let it cool. There's our pigtail joint. After soldering, when you are ready to finish it out. You want to make sure there are no sharp points or burrs sticking out because they will puncture tape or shrinkwrap. This one is pretty clean, no sharp edges. Another way to splice is to push the wires
