Since my connector disintegrated from the inside due to excessive heat resulted from poor contact, I used crimp-on insulated quick disconnects to connect the three yellow wires coming from the generator and going to the voltage regulator. I noticed that they are still too warm for comfort at higher rpm, and because of the voltage drop, the voltage on the battery is at times barely more than 13.0V - like at high rpm.
So, I want to replace crimp-on insulated quick disconnect with solder-on insulated quick disconnects for better connection, less heat, and less voltage drop. But guess what? I can't find them anywhere.
Yes, I know I could solder the wires directly, but then if I ever need to disconnect them to test the circuit, or for whatever reason - that would be a pain in the neck.
I checked RadioShack, ebay, various websites - nothing - all of them have a gazzillion crimp-on insulated quick disconnects. My best approach so far is this: I got uninsulated quick disconnects from Ace Hardware, and will simply solder them to the wires, and once connected, I will put electrical tape around them, and enclose each of the three connections in its own insulated tube.
Any suggestions?
