Video Transcript for Deka Heat Shrink Ring Terminal Review
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Deka quarter-inch heat shrink ring terminal for 16 to 14 gauge wire. That's going to be part number DW05737-1. Our heat shrink ring terminal is going to keep out all of that moisture and debris that could potentially cause corrosion build-up inside the connector. It's going to be especially useful in applications, like this, where it's going to be on the outside of either a vehicle or a trailer, where it's going to be exposed to the elements. It's also going to come in handy if you have a boat trailer, where it's going to be near a lot of water.Because, unlike traditional style ring terminals, it's going to be sealed at the back. Whereas with the other one, it's going to have an opening and potentially having a opening at the front.
Where we're going to have wires really close to that ring. Where it could, again, get that moisture in there and cause a lot of corrosion. A ring terminal is going to work with 14 to 16 gauge wire. And the ring, itself, is going to be a quarter-inch inner diameter. It's going to be perfect for those ground wires with the self-tapping screw, or any other small terminal that you can fit a quarter-inch ring around.The heat shrink is going to be a nylon.
If you just take some heat and apply it to it, it will shrink right around that wire and give it that extra durable coating, but also still be flexible enough that we can move the wire around and not have to worry about it breaking, or moving it around inside the terminal. We're going to be using our ring terminal for our ground wire coming out of our junction box on our trailer. We already have a hole drilled, so we're just going to measure out about how much wire we're going to need. It doesn't hurt to give yourself a little bit of extra. We'll cut off the excess and we'll strip back the end of the wire.We'll take our ring terminal, slide the bare wire in, and crimp it in place.
Just need to apply some heat, so we can shrink down that connector. We're going to be using a heat gun. That way I don't have to worry about it charring or burning the connector or the wires. We'll taking a self-tapping screw, put it loosely in place, and come back with a nut driver and tighten it up.That will finish up your look at the Deka quarter-inch heat shrink ring terminal, part number DW05737-1.

Worth the money compared to the cheap hard-plastic versions...especially for marine applications. Suggest to still use shrink tubing on top of the heat shrink on the ring terminal...slide a piece of shrink tubing onto the wire, heat/shrink down the terminal first, then slide down your tubing and shrink on top of everything for a lasting connection.

Order was complete and delivered in a timely manner. Only problem (minor) was the 7way pigtail was not wired to color code. Had to use test light to get 3 of the wires in correct location. Could be a problem if someone wasn't comfortable with ringing out wires.

I ordered multiple items from etrailer and the experience was perfect. The products arrived exactly as described with super fast shipping (standard option). The communication was frequent and thorough. This company knows good customer service. I didn't have any issues, but don't have any worries with this company if any come up.

- Replacing the 7-Way Connector on a 2006 Dodge Ram TruckSounds like your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 was wired to be used with a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. If you are wanting to switch the 7-way plug back to its original location, then you will need to use the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring, # HM40975-11998. This product will allow you wire your Dodge for both a 7-way and 4-pole flat and relocate the plug back to your bumper. Since someone has altered the factory plugs, you will have to hard wire your...

First I would make sure that the main ground to the tongue of the trailer from your new 4-way connector is secure to clean corrosion free metal. Next if your trailer has an aluminum frame or a tilt bed you will likely need to run jumper wires from the mounting hardware of each light to the main ground on the tongue, as these style trailers...
view full answer... - Wiring For Electric Lockout on Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VRThe electric lockout on the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VR has 2 yellow wires as they are not positive/negative specific. You will connect one of the yellow wires to your 5-Way # A25W5B blue wire. The other you will connect to ground. I recommend the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and Heat Shrink Ring Terminal # DW05737-1 to keep a weathertight connection on the wiring.
view full answer... - Installing A Light Run Off A Toggle SwitchThe Bully Bumper Mount Backup Light - Clamp On # PL-807 can be added to a switch on or near your dash. I recommend using the Pollak Light-Duty Toggle Switch - On-Off - 12 Volt - 10 Amp - 6" Wire Leads # PK34513 and running wire directly from your battery for power using a ring terminal like # DW05737-1. You can use butt connectors like # DW05744-10 and wire by the foot like # 16-1-1. This will allow you to use the light at any time whether the car is on or off.

You can use the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit # HS381-9000 to connect your trailer lighting. You can use the attached diagram to help you with color and function on the trailer side. I recommend using the 12 Gauge Black Primary Wire - per foot # 12-1-1. You can use ring terminals # DW05705-1 and butt connectors like # DW05745-10. You can use 16 gauge wire like # 16-4B-1 along with ring terminals # DW05737-1 and butt connectors # DW05744-5. Your side markers should...

- How Does Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Get Wired To Trailer?I would be happy to help! Electric Trailer Brakes like the # AKEBRK-6R you were looking at are pretty easy to wire to your trailer. On the back of the brake assembly there is two wires that go to the brake magnet. Pick one of the wires and ground it to the frame of your trailer by adding a ring terminal # DW05737-1 and a self tapping screw. If the wire is not long enough to reach the frame then you will need to add a piece of # 16-1-1. The other wire going to the brake magnet will need...

Just use heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05743-5 for the standard wires and add a ring terminal like part # DW05737-1 for the ground wire. If you already have a 4-Way connector with just 4 wires then you'll combine the ends of the 2 brown wires and connect them to the running light...
view full answer... - Can You Use The Frame For a Ground When Using 4-Way Harness With Full Length Ground Wires? You are correct. You can cut the ground wire and attach it at the front of the frame using a Ring Terminal # DW05737-1 and Self Drilling Screw # 101131802. Be sure to sand the frame to bare metal here and where you make your light connections to ground. Then you will want to spray paint over the top of the connections to reduce corrosion to the bare steel.
view full answer... - How to Convert a Boat Trailer w/ Surge Brakes to Electric Brakes? To convert your trailer from surge to electric brakes you are going to need a new set of brake assemblies that match the brake flange on your boat trailer. The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 6,000 lbs item # 23-105-106 have a 5 bolt mounting flange and fit 12" hubs. These would be a great start but you will want to ensure they are the same size as your current brakes. You will need to look inside your hubs as well. If your hubs have casting holes...
view full answer... - How to Ground a Trailer Light and Corrosion Prevention Yes, as long as you do not break continuity in doing so. I suggest you complete steps toward grounding trailer lights, verify proper grounding with meter or probe before addressing the area of concern. Once you have completed the process, check continuity one final time. I prefer to use a heat shrink ring terminal such as # DW05737-1 attached to grounding wire and a self tapping screw such as # FA1131822. The use of a self tapping screw will allow continuity of ground by way of drilled...
view full answer... - How to Wire Trailer Breakaway Switch to TrailerA trailer breakaway kit like # 20099 needs to be connected to the vehicle's 12V auxiliary power circuit so that it receives a maintenance charge at all times you are driving, not just when the lights are on. The wiring and mounting requirements, as well as the procedure for testing your breakaway system, are covered in the two articles I linked for you. Your best bet is to re-wire the trailer to match your Suburban's 7-way setup. This takes only a junction box like # HS381-9000 and some...
view full answer... - How to Install Ground Wire for LED Light That Replaces Stud-Grounded LightMost likely the original lights you are replacing used the mounting hardware/stud to make the ground connection to the trailer frame. This is not unusual. A light such as # ST52AA uses the mounting stud to establish ground while the similar light # STL52ARB has a white wire for ground. All you need to do is connect the new light's white ground wire to a clean bare metal spot on the trailer, using a ring terminal like # DW05737-1 or you could run a ground jumper wire up to a wiring junction...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add 3rd Brake Light to Small Utility Trailer with 4-Pole WiringTo add a 3rd brake light to a trailer's existing lighting will require a signal converter to separate out the brake signal from the turn signals that are combined by trailer wiring. You need the converter # 118158 to provide a brake-only output signal to prevent the 3rd brake light from flashing like a turn signal. In your particular application you will not need diodes but you may need a load resistor # DI34ZR to let the high-efficiency LED brake light function correctly with other incandescent...
view full answer... - 2-Prong Right Angle Plug for Use with Optronics Trailer LightsFor a 2-wire right-angle pigtail for your Optronics trailer lights you can use part # A46P36B which is 36-inches long. This can be cut to the 18-inch length if necessary. This will require ring terminal # DW05737-1. We also have shorter 10-inch length right-angle 2-prong plug # A49PB. You can use butt connectors like # DW05744-5 to make connections to the existing trailer wiring.

It's referring to the wires that come out of the top of the unit. The three dash symbol you're referring to means ground. The blue wire will connect to terminal 6 of the switch. Terminal 4 of the switch will go to the negative battery terminal. The green wire will connect...

- How to Install the Optronics # MCL86AB Clearance Light on a 2005 GMC SierraAlthough the Optronics # MCL86AB is designed for trailers you can possibly use it on your 2005 GMC Sierra. When a clearance light only has one wire it is because it is grounded through the mounting hardware. Since the Steel Armored LED light that you referenced has 2 wires (one for power and one for ground) you would need a ring terminal like part # DW05737-1 and a self-tapping screw like part # FA1131822 for the ground.

Although there are many different types, the majority of them will have the same installation method/instructions. The Clearance Light Kit part # CB-15AK has everything you will need to install cab lights on your truck. The first thing you will want to do is disconnect your vehicle's battery. You will then want to use the cab lights to mark out the position on the roof where you want the lights to sit. After this...

As I was unable to find your exact lights you might consider the LED Trailer License Plate Light # LPL82CBB. This light is submersible, mounts with studs and the LED lights are very bright. This light uses a 2 wire connection which you can add a Ring Terminal # DW05737-1 to connect the ground to one of the mounting studs so you only need to connect your power wire.

First you will need to decide if you would like to install the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-105-106 that includes left and right brake assemblies for one axle or their Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459 that has left and right brake assemblies that are self adjusting for one axle. I recommend the self adjusting myself to save yourself from having to manually adjust the...

The installation will be very simply with only 5 connections needed. There will be three terminals that go to the water heater (orange, blue, white), one terminal that goes to a 12 volt power source, and one terminal that goes to a ground. In order to make these connections I recommend using four of the Female Spade Terminal Quick-Disconnect...

- Can Electric Drum Brakes Be Installed on Prestige Boat TrailerElectric drum brakes are more common on boat trailers than they once were, and for the very reasons you mention: lower cost and easier installation than hydraulic surge brakes. More and more marine trailers are being factory-equipped with electric drum brakes and they can be used safely by always unplugging the trailer connector from the tow vehicle before the trailer enters the water. I linked a helpful overview article on this process that covers the whole conversion and all the items...

You can extend the wires, but if you alter your wiring, you will void your warranty. You only need to extend the wires and put the ring terminals on either end to give yourself a working solution. I recommend using wiring # 16-1-1, and ring terminals # DW05737-1. You will simply use a bolt and nut to connect the two wires...but make sure the negative and positive wires...

They can either ground using a single wire (usually white) or through the mounting hardware. If they ground using a single wire then that wire will need to be attached to a bare metal part of the trailer frame with a screw like part # FA1131822 and a ring terminal like part # DW05737-1. If there is any paint on the ground location then you will need to sand it down...
