WeatherPack Sealed Electrical Connectors
The Weather-Pack system is a modular electrical connector system that seals the connection against moisture and dirt. The system's reliability (proven in use on many brands of street cars) makes it ideal for race car electrical systems. Rated from -40°F to 257°F, to 16 volts DC and 20 amps maximum. Weatherpack system components:
"Tower" body - "Shroud" body - Male terminals - Female terminals - Weather seals
These connectors require a special crimping tool, makeshift methods will result in an unreliable connector and unsatisfactory seal.
Assembly Instructions for Weather Pack Connector Terminals
How to properly assemble and crimp the wire, terminal and dust seal
|
Step 1 Strip wire 3/16 inch and install the terminal seal. |
|
Step 2 Position terminal (you may squeeze the insulation crimp lightly with your fingers to maintain position while crimping). |
|
Step 3 Crimp the terminal - the tool crimps the wire and the dust seal/strain relief in a single operation. |
Both the wire and insulation have perfect crimps! Just snap the terminal into the connector body and you're done. If you ever need to remove a terminal from a connector body, use the Weather Pack Terminal Extraction Tool.
