DZS Elec 30pcs A.W.G. 22-16 10A 16-14 15A 12-10 24A Fully Insulated Flag Wire Connector Quick Disconnects Electrical Wiring Female Spade Nylon Wire Crimp Terminal Assortment Set

This product was huge disappointment. I always test a product first before using in any application and that has proved to save me time and money as was the case in this situation. After examining the flags more closely, I noticed the barrel portion of the flag didn’t have much in the way of conductive material to crimp so I decided to take a closer look and dissected a few of each with the same result. After removing the nylon coating on several of the terminals, I discovered the 18-22 awg (red) terminals and the 14-16 awg (blue) terminals have insufficient conductive barrel material (actually no barrel portion at all) to crimp and hold the wire in place. Whether using a flag crimper or an old school crimping tool, the wires inserted into the red and blue flags pulled out immediately. Obviously because there is no ‘crimpable’ material to secure them in the flag. Horrible product, I am returning for refund immediately. Made in China says it all...

Blue and Red connectors have no crimping barrel. Which is a problem when your trying to get a good connection. Top is the flag connector i needed bottom is the Flag connector i received

Out of ignorance, I thought a Flag Connector was a 90° Spade connector. Function wise it is but crimping wise it takes a Flag Crimper. A Crimper for insulated connectors will crush part of the Flag connector. I only needed to make 1 connection and got by. If I use more Flag Connectors I will buy the correct crimper.

I tried to use these on an electronic burner control with spade connectors and the grip on the wires was not good. The connectors felt loose and wobbly and wire pulled out. I used my crimper pliers and still could not get a firm connection that I was comfortable with. I ended up going a different route using factor flag connectors with pig tail that I connected to my wires. I can’t really give these a glowing review because I found them difficult to use and get secure to my wires.

It may be my relative inexperience with this type of connector, but I find that the insulation often breaks as I try to crimp the connector and latch the insulation. It's as though the insulation is too rigid. I have not tried other brands, so I can't speculate as to whether this problem is brand-specific, a flaw in the general design, or my lack of technique. My failure rate is about 50%, but even at that rate, this small pack will last me a long time.If I could go back in time, I would stick with Posi-Tap style connectors. Much more expensive per connection, but much more reliable for me.

Have used these types of connectors at work and home. The metal on these, where you crimp the wire, is a lot thinner than most brands I use. So I'm not sure how long they are going to keep the crimping tension on the wire. I did like that the insulating cover on the yellow has a flap on the top that opens and let's you slide the cover down the wire, the only thing is if the insulation is thick on the wire it wont let cover slide down the wire. These will be okay for light duty connections, but if your pushing a lot of lamps through these, I would try and get a more heavy duty connector.

These 'flag' connectors are great in tight locations. This package had three different wire size lugs. I needed only 2 Yellow but this was as good a selection at a good price. I'll have to see how well they stand up when the freeze departs and I can get back into the garage where the compressor motor is located.

As one review said the red and blue have small or short crimps making a safe and secure connection questionable. After rummaging through all of my old tools I found a pair of crimping pliers that work with the terminals. Note that these are "pliers" not crimpers designed for old 3M terminals/components I worked on in the past. Also the terminal will come out of the red/blue insulators easily due to the short crimping lugs.
