the biggest cause of failure is not maintaining the blades on ez crimpers. Fresh blades and the ends have zero non ID10T errors (if using the real connectors and not knock offs) moisture --- if you have a drop of water in the connector, its not the connector thats the issue the brown is normally the first indicator, it catches doesnt fully cleave, instinct is to pull it off --- you just uncrimped that pin the next thing is they start beveling --- now moisture can be an issue, but more than likely that scorch, its cause you took a small surge that arced or you are directly shorting (the copper likes to hide behind the remaining insulation
maintain your blades, they chew through blades fast dont use cable thats too snug on the insulation, it can roll the crimp, but the garbage cable is probably going to be a problem anyway On Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 5:54 PM, Jaime Solorza <[email protected]> wrote: > Not having issue with moisture...the cable slide guides on some allow > cables to be pinched enough to fail even though pin out is correct.
