Wire connectors?

[Rudy]

Hey there all,
Was hoping to get some wiring help.
I got a 750-1000 voilamart rear hub kit.
With a 52v 13a upp battery.
I hooked up everything easily already and works great.
I added a headlight that runs off battery.
I installed a buck converter for headlight switch and light.
This is a custom build. Built bike from frame up.
So I want to rewire everything with new connectors.
It's wired now with spade connectors.
Julet connectors can get expensive.
Most importantly is reliable and compact.
What connectors would be best for me.
I feel the spades are low quality.

I would use DEUTSCH Connectors. They are water proof and easy to work with assuming you have the correct crimping tool.

that's a good choice as well ebay has Assembled Deutsch waterproof connector pigtails
so you wouldn't need to crimp the connectors

Maybe but then you'll need to connect them somehow and that will make the connection not as neat.

Thank you for link.
I have been looking at every connector?
Was gonna go with Dean connectors cause they are very compact. then found out they fail sometimes.
Reliable is most important for me.
As for deutsch connectors .
My last question is I have to buy their crimper?
I can't use a standard wire crimper?

 

[Rudy]

Don't mind buying thier crimper.
Just need to know if it is essential.
I want my wiring to be as professional as possible.

If i recall correctly it's a star type of crimp, however.......
i've never used those connectors but i'd try .. just to know .. a regular connector tool like the one i use for the marine butt connectors.

So are you saying a regular crimper would work?

 

[Rudy]

Thank you to everyone for your valued input.
I much appreciate.

Simple answer, if you want a professional job .... no. You'll need the dedicated crimp tool. Same deal for just about every specialised small size connector. The run of the mill green/yellow/blue type electricians tool will not do the job properly.

You could solder and heat shrink the connections. I probably wouldn’t solder the rear hub connector because it has to be removed occasionally. $9 for a 9 pin male and female Juliet connector. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqByOtu
