Outstanding vid!!!
Thanks 👍
After having destroy several connectors, calming from several nervous breakdown, watching tons of dirty fingers videos of Guys trying to explain wath they dont really know, i finaly see inside this "bloody" plug AND undersdand how it works ! You have my respect for eternity and maybe more.........
I'm so glad you found this useful, I try to do videos that are helpful.👍👍
@@50plusdad-uk from deep if m'y Heart thank you. FYI i'am on a Z1300 Kawasaki from 1981, doing some modification on the electric wiring. I can't say if these plugs will last 42 years like the kawa did (I bet no), i'am looking for waterproof connectors for the turn signals and some other lights i founded this kind quite serious, until i had to "unpin" when mistake in the colors...
@laurentbarre7887 these should work, z1300 6 cylinder beast no road bike for me at the moment, last one was a 97 rrv fireblade, keep seeing RG500's online wish I'd got one back when you could afford them. If only we knew then what we know now!
every plug pin is different, i didn't learn anything from this video, because the pins I am stuck on, don't work anything like these.
Excellent video! This is, by far, one of the best videos explaining how these plugs work! Thank you!
Thanks im so glad you liked it 😊
Thank you for taking the time showing the cutouts!!!! Amazing help. Best
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely the best pin connector video ever. Thank you for such a thorough explanation.
Thanks for watching 🙂
It has already been said but i agree that this is the best video i have ever seen showing how you remove the wires from electrical connectors, the cut away plugs and the clear focused camera was excellent. Thank you sir for making it because it has helped me greatly.
I'm really happy you liked it 😊
I didn't have a tripod at that point so had to prop my phone up with bits of wood and tape.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers
Happy to, thanks for watching 🙂
Very useful. I'm trying to diagnose a powerbank that won't charge from AC power and wanted to use the solar power cable to troubleshoot. This helped me disassemble the weatherproof plugs without mauling them too bad
Great, glad you liked it 👍
About ten years ago I thought about doing this video, but I didn't have the close focus gear or motivation to do it. You've come along and raised the bar, with surprisingly good editing and technical skill. Worth the sub, for sure.
Thanks, not bad for a 5yr old galaxy s9.😃👍
ive been on youtube for hours. your video explained to me how pins are held in place and because of the connector cut in half, i was able to understand how to pull pins from a 16pin green andriod car head terminal and from the small canbus connector, just because you explained how the locking mechanism works. Thank you
It's always easy once you can see how it works, glad it's helpful to you 😀👍
I watched so many videos trying to figure out how to do this for my exhaust valve wiring harness because I want to put heatproof wrap on it but didn't want to cut the harness. Thank you for making such a good video which explains it so well!
Thanks I'm so pleased you found it useful. 😁👍
Great Vid. The first person to really explain it with the dissections.
Thanks im glad you liked it 😊
Clear camera focus on the connectors and depinnining well demonstrated 👍
Thanks 👍
Wow absolutely awsome video sir.the reason i say this,is that by the very fact of you slicing open the respectice plug and socket,ive finally been able to see how these actually lock,thanku😊
No problem thanks for watching 👍
I have done this countless times in IT and RF Telcom and I have both bought and fabricated extraction tools
It's one of those things that once you see how it all goes together it's easy to pull apart, I made a tool from a key ring loop on another video fits perfectly.
Good video, i Like the cut down connectors for a detailed explanation 👍
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Very very good video, thanks a lot for explaining and showing everything in such detail! Will use some of these connectors on my bike soon :)
Thanks good luck with your bike.👍
That was really useful, especially the cut away 👌🏻🔧
Thanks, I thought it would be useful to see inside. 🙂👍
@@50plusdad-uk I use those SuperSeal connectors when adding electrical stuff to the bike. Problem is, I do it so rarely I can never remember which way round the connector goes in! I need to print off your image and stick it on the garage wall 😎
It's easy really if it does not click in with gentle pressure just rotate 180 degrees and try again. Most connectors you can see where it needs to sit ie horizontal or vertical just flip it until it clicks in.
So I spent about $70 for some connectors and tools, Took a deep breath and started working on depinning some wires before I attack the beast and ruin a wiring harness in my car. Thanks for the detailed description of the hammer and how to engage lifting up motion. It worked, removed three pins. It is going to take a bit to develop the right touch. Visualizing that hammer and you lifting up helped. Thanks.
No problem happy to help. Takes lots of pictures before you start always good to have a backup 😄
Great and detailing tip ! thanx
Thank you !
Magnificent video! Thank you very much for sharing. Cheers. Subscribed.
Thanks 😊 so glad you liked it.
Great video. Really informative .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and the music is the best!
Thanks for watching, The track is called "Problem" by @reececrawford hes got other similar style songs, have a listen to "me vs you" and "motion", www.youtube.com/@reececrawford/videos
Let me know what you think
Thank you! A really helpful lesson.
👍
Great video
Thanks 😊
This was pretty good. Speeding through things without the real closeups that you need doesn't help. At the beginning that can leave someone wanting as far as real detail. The last part where you took the Dremel and cut the connector for a lateral peak at the inside was great. Anybody that didn't understand what was going on from there was never gonna figure this out. I had the professional keys to get the connector out and it was still a bit of a challenge to get the wire out. I did get it and your video was the guidance I needed to get it out. 😊 This is a great video. Just a little more detail at the beginning for goober like me would pay off bigtime. Thanks again.
Thanks for the tips, I'm still trying to figure out what sort of carrot to dangle at the beginning without revealing too much of the punchline. it's a work in progress..😀👍
Thanks been hoping for this
Your welcome 🙂
Very good video brother.
Thanks glad yo liked it 😁
Thanks, it all helps when your in a bind with a corroded connector/ and no light/ in a tough spot.
Been there, I feel your pain 😁
Thanks mate😊
No problem thanks 👍

First class post!
Thanks 😊

Specialized tools are available for different types of these connectors,but I have fabricated several different ones from slivers of stainless sheet and old paint brush handles.Looks like you have a nice compact set for round pin Amphenol connectors.This is so much better than splicing a new pigtailed one onto the original wiring.
They came with a trim tool set that I got, seem to be as good as any others I've used.
@@50plusdad-uk They look nice ,and much more compact than the individual handle set we used.Those are the only ones I don’t have an extractor for,but haven’t had the need for many years.
I'm the same but you never know. 👍
@@50plusdad-uk Yeah,I remember that one time,several times.LOL.
brilliant
Thanks for watching 🙂👍
nice 👍🏻
thanks 👍
Thanks for watching, Hopefully this makes repairing wiring a little bit easier for you😊

1:20 THANK YOU ....THANK YOU ....THANK YOU! 😁
No problem glad you liked it 👍
depinning is the most frustrating task, nice cut away to show the different types of locks used
Thanks 👍
You can buy extractors and inserters for the connectors you work on most frequently. But, in a pinch your idea is good.😊
Thanks 😁👍
Excellent. About to replace an OBD port with a wrecked pin (and one loose one) After hours of trying, I could not remove the pins at all, and ended up drilling the worst one out!
I thought I'd be into cutting all the wires and crimping on replacement pins for the new block.
I might just get away with doing a single pin and releasing the rest - you may just have saved me from torching the vehicle 👍🍺
*I have to wonder though, what situation designers had in mind? Do people really remove harnesses and use them to swing from trees at the weekend, remove tree stumps, tow horse boxes?
Couplings seem to be severely overengineered - I bet it was the Germans...
"In zis scenario, der driver he is hanging die shoppink tasche of many dunkel biers from das wiring harness und driving up a shteep and rocky berg - den coupling is out coming - die automobile ist kranken, dem tasche is fallen, und alles bottles gebroken - ist catastrophe! Telefon Deutsches Institut für Normung- Schnell! Rasch!"
😉
🙂👍 glad you don't need to torch it now 🤣
I have bought the first one 2 pin waterproof… you did the demo on but mine just won’t release? Do the cheap ones come apart?
most of these type of connectors work in the same way, as long as you have the lock off (if fitted) you just need to lift the little hammer or peg away from the terminal and gently pull the cable out.
Depending on the type you have some locks pull out the end and others release from the side and might just need to be held in. reply with make and part number if you can and i'll take a look to see what's going on with yours.
Have you considered adding the JAE connectors to this video
I didn't have any to cut up, but from memory they are similar in design.
Question / Advice .
So I accidentally damaged a connector for a car at the base ( where the wire goes into the plastic housing )
Would it be possible to pry open the little metal sleeve , remove the cut wire, and simply insert the remainder of the good wire back into the metal sleeve and squeeze it tight again then insert ???
Yes I've done this when I couldn't get a replacement, be really careful opening up the terminal just enough to get the wire out use a brad or small watchmakers screwdriver, then put the new wire in, I find it best to solder as well because opening up the terminal can weaken the metal and cause a loose crimp but don't make the solder too big or it won't fit back in the connector. Good luck 👍
THANKYOU !!!! I cannot solder lol black tape it is
No problem hope it works out. 🙂👍
👍
🙂
I couldn't manage to remove the red securing clamp of the female part of the connector. Sadly you don't show this. Is it necessary to remove the clamp in order to insert the contacts?
Sorry I left it out in the edit, it is fidley you can try a using a paperclip with a small hook on the end or small screwdrivers to wiggle it out after a couple you'll get a feel for it, but it is a test of patience, take your time it will come out.👍
So glad someone asked
👍
I've added a video on getting the red lock off hopefully it will help. czcams.com/video/dOA-lhNWeGk/video.html
Where do you buy replacement pins?
If you know the size search amazon for pin connectors. (possibly 1.5mm)
A++++++++++++
👍😊
noice
Thanks 😊
Yes but before any of that, you absolutely must know what type of connector you're dealing with in order to determine what type of detent mechanism it uses. Otherwise you'll spend hours on end and usually destroy either the jacket or the pin. Ask me how I know.
I feel your pain, it's even better when you're upside down elbows deep in dashboard trying to feel what you can't see 🤣
I have been doing this wrong for many years.
😁👍
Good job but music is annoying
Thanks 😊 I'm working on it
Thank You. I got mine out using a tine on my table fork.
Nice 😄👍
