Minimizing voltage drop is critical in low-voltage direct current automotive wiring wiring systems. One of the primary causes of voltage drop is excessive resistance caused by poor wire termination methods.
Resistance buildup can be caused by loose connections, moisture-induced corrosion, bad workmanship, or just plain worn-out connectors. But wiring failures need not be terminal; connectors and harnesses can be easily repaired by using the proper parts, tools, and assembly techniques. Let's take a look at some of the common termination systems and tools in use on today's cars and trucks.
