WAGO Lever Nuts
- Makes a connection between two power or data wires
- The side (as shown below) has a line which indicates the length needed to get stripped
- Must be extremely careful while seating in because it will come out otherwise
- Make sure to perform the “tug-test” (steps below)
- Seat wire in at right length
- Tug on it (firmly but carefully), and make sure it does not fall out
- Tug on the wire to verify connection
- If it does come out, make sure to double check the length and re-strip it or straighten out and re-insert itsmooth out the copper
CAN Lever Nuts
- Makes a connection between two CAN wires
- MUST also be EXTREMELY careful while seating in because it will come out otherwiseTug on the wire to verify connection
- Make sure to close down all the way -- otherwise wires WILL come out
Ferrules
- Used to secure/terminate wire ends
CAN Clips
- Holds dupont CAN connections together, and ensures that it will not come loose while driving
- Won’t ever need to make a dupont connection in pit
Stubs
- An out/an in spliced into a connection
Electrical Tape
- Taping broken slits of wires CASING (casing ONLY -- not wire)
- To cover up ports on Rio, PDH, etc. to protect metal shards from falling into them
- Shields and insulates wires to protect them
- All exposed and not plugged in wires must be wrapped (power only)\
VHB Tape
- Very strong double sided tape
- Pressure activated
- Must press down really hard to activate
- Used for securing two flat surfaces together
- Extremely difficult to take off -- so be careful when sticking it on
- Usually for radio, switch, etc.
They help splice the wires so more connections can be made in the same place
