Hi,
I'm working on a boat, not on a car, but the problem is the same. I have these led lights with extremely small wire. I am trying to connect them to thicker supply cables (1.5mm2). I could solder it but was told that soldering is not reliable on vehicles, as the vibrations will make break the solder over time.
I have tried folding the light's very thin wire over itself, then crimping a ferrule connector on top, and then crimping a butt connector on top of that. But when I crimp the butt connector on top it often breaks the ferrule connector, so it's not a reliable solution.
Which solution is best? Soldering? Any other idea?
