Maintenance of Field Wireable Connector

With the end of summer, the beginning of the wet and cold seasons looms on the horizon. For those who service or operate older equipment without weatherproof field wireable field wireable connectors, it means it’ s time to ensure that all exposed electrical connections are in good shape, along with all the other winter maintenance checks for commercial trucks. In most cases, this means physically disconnecting and visually inspecting all un-sealed field wireable connectors and looking for signs of corrosion. Corrosion will cause intermittent and/or inoperative electrical problems. These include, but are not limited to exterior lights, truck-to-trailer field wireable connectors, trailer anti-lock systems, and a multitude of other accessories. Most seasoned technicians know exactly where to look for problem areas. Anywhere where water or moisture intrusion is possible is a likely place for corrosion to start. The main areas are near the wheels and between the tractor and the trailer and everywhere on the trailer.

Disconnect all field wireable connectors for inspection. You may find a PA (position assurance) clip keeping the field wireable connector from being opened. Remove this clip first, and then open the field wireable connector. Inspect for signs of corrosion like a green or white powdery film on the brass or copper terminals. In many cases, dielectric grease may have been used to help prevent corrosion from forming, but this does not insure success. Often, the corrosion was not properly cleaned prior to coating with dielectric grease, and now it’ s all green. When corrosion is found, you will need to completely clean or replace both the terminals and possibly the wire leading into them. Where minor corrosion is found, there are two methods to clean the corrosion: Using a fixed terminal cleaning tool kit; there are many options on the market from various tool companies. Or a combination of using an appropriate wire brush, depending on the type of terminal, and an aerosol contact cleaner.

Where corrosion is severe, you will want to remove the damaged terminals, clean and strip the wires and crimp and solder the new terminal onto the cleaned wire. The use of appropriate heat shrink tubing covering the crimped area will help deter any corrosion from returning. Whenever practical you may want to upgrade the old design field wireable connectors to the newer weatherproof design to eliminate this reoccurring issue.

Introduction to Wiring Steps for Field Wireable Connector

Field wireable connector, or wire nuts as they're often referred to, are covers that are used to fasten two electrical wires together. These handy little connectors prevent live wires from becoming exposed or touching metal surfaces, which could cause a dangerous fault or short circuit. Field wireable connector are available in a variety of colors, materials, shapes, and sizes. Some of the most popular field wireable connector are the twist-on, push-on, and crimp-on styles. Unlike a lot of electrical wiring projects, working with and using electrical field wireable connector is easy for diy amateur electricians and requires very few tools. As with any electrical project and when using field wireable connector, be sure the electricity is shut off to the circuit you'll be working with.

In addition to making sure the electricity is turned off, it's important to select the correct size wire connector for your job. After the connectors are put in place and the electricity is switched back on, the current will obviously reflow through the wires, as well as the connectors, where it will meet with a mild resistance in its flow. This resistance will cause the wires to slightly heat up, causing them to expand. Conversely, when the current flow is stopped, the wires will cool and contract. If the wrong size connector is used, it could pop off when the wires heat and expand or fall off when they cool and contract. This will leave you with exposed wiring, which could lead to big problems. To avoid this issue, be sure the connector being used is rated for the wires it's connecting. These are available with external grooves or with wings for easy handling and are typically twisted on by hand. To use, strip the two wires to be connected about ½" from the end. Align side-by-side and twist together the stripped area of the wires, slide the connecter over the two wires, and twist it clockwise to make the connection. They are held in place by interior grooves or a tapered coiled metal spring inside the connector, which threads onto the joined wires to hold them tightly together. If you need to remove the connector, simply twist it counter-clockwise until it comes loose.

Twist-on connectors are commonly color-coded to indicate the size or capacity of the connector. Easy to twist on and off if necessary, they're often used in electrical wiring systems for light switches, ceiling fans, electrical receptacles or outlets, security systems, hvac, and more. Twist-on connectors, however, aren't typically used on wiring thicker than awg #10, as solid wire like this is too stiff to be used with this type of connector. These connectors are for use with solid wire only, as stranded wire will not connect securely in the ports of the connector. As the name suggests, the connection is made by pushing the solid wire into the connector until it sits tightly in place. Start by using a wire stripper or crimper to remove about ½" of the wire's insulation. Now simply push the stripped wire into one of the ports (these connectors are available with anywhere from 2 to 4 ports depending on your wiring requirements). Be sure the wire is inserted deep enough into the connector so that if you give it a good tug it won't easily come back out. Push-in connectors have a clear shell allowing you to see if the connection was made tightly. Additionally, the clear shell makes it easier to spot a loose connection during repairs, and because of its small size, they fit easily within junction boxes. To remove a wire from a reusable push-in connector, simply hold the connector in one hand and, using a slight twisting motion, pull the wire away from the connector with your other hand.
