Wiring Small Wires
So, I took on the task of adding some LED blinkers to the undertail of my bike. I have two pairs of 11 LEDs to now wire in parallel. I'm not the greatest when it comes to wiring. What is a good method to wire the 11 positives and 11 negatives together? Keep in mind they are small wires; I don't know what AWG, they look like 22ish or so. Thanks in advance.
How do I go about soldering 11 wires together? Well 12 wires technically; I'd like to connect them all to a heavier wire so I will have just one set of wires for the many lights.
What about ring terminals? Anybody see a problem if I just buy a ton of ring terminals and bolt them all together? Put a nice layer of heat shrink on it and I should be good to go.
that would work, but honestly, still a ton of work.
I'd actually do a breadboard for something like this, but that's me.
easiest/cleanest other than soldering - I'd take 3-4 of each 22ga, strip an inch, twist together, put in a blue or yellow butt splice connector and crimp then heatshrink. That way you'll end up with 2-3 bundles close to the LED's, then can run your main power feed from the battery/switch with a nice 12-14ga primary.
