Man . . . that's been awhile. I had to stop
in several NAPA stores before I found any
butt splices and then they were similar but
a different part number. I think they were okay
in performance. It's been so long ago I don't
recall.
There's a bunch of PIDG alternatives out there,
many are adequate to the task. It would be difficult
to evaluate a bunch of PIDG wannabe parts and
attempt to sprinkle any sort of holy-water on
them. That could crank up a never ending task!
I think it's pretty clear what we expect of our
non-insulated and pre-insulated terminals for
performance. We've discussed the fact that a
useful study mates wires, terminals and tools.
There's some illustrated discussions on the website.
I think the best general rule of thumb I can offer
is to do your own tear-down of the as-applied
terminal and see how the two metals come together
and how well the insulation is gripped without
'squashing' it.
I use a Dremel tool cut-off wheel to section
the wire grip. Polish the cut-line with 800 wet-or-
dry paper. I have a 40X binocular inspection
'scope through which I can evaluate the work-
product and take pictures. There are dozens of
really reasonable illuminated, pocket microscopes
on ebay . . .

that would be quite adequate for getting up
close and personal with the 'mash'. With a few
simple tools and a lot of curiosity, you can
easily deduce suitability to task for a variety
of wire/terminal/tool combinations.

Hello,
I am a complete beginner in electronics but having Internet access and your b
ook I have come to the conclusion that I have wired the moles connector on m
y Icom 210 incorrectly because I did not use shielded wire for the connectio
ns with a circle around the conductor to ground. Can you confirm that I need
to retire the moles using shielded wiring

It's probably not serious. However, SOME of
the wires may show shield connections at BOTH
ends . . . in which case you need to add a wire
to take care of the signals that flowed on the
shields.
It's a rare installation that suffers because
the wires are not shielded.
