Wiring anderson plug

[VKCOMMO]

Just wondering whats the best way to wire an anderson plug..

It is the smaller one (50amp I believe), and im wiring 8ga wire into it..

Ive been told different things as to how to do it, I tried crimping with vice grips, didnt work, So my other 2 options are solder the wire and crimp (so the wire is solid and has something to bite onto), or flog someones blowtorch and fill the terminal with solder, dip in the wire and let it set..

Let us know

Cheers.. Any idea how much one of those crimpers are worth? I usually just use vice grips

I'm not sure sorry. I don't do them the other guy does so I have no idea.

Other guy?

I never realised there was a specific crimper for an anderson plug.. I might hit up a caravan place one day and see if they have a crimper.. Failing that, maybe even a local auto sparky

Where I work we deal with anderson plugs a lot. It's me and the boss. He is the one who does the anderson plugs.
