Blitzpros step by step guide toinstalling the waterproof 2 pin connectorwithout the use of special crimper tools

This guide will show you how

install the 2 pin connectors

that are included with Blitzpr

lights using common tools

Pictured are the tools youll

need. From left to right and

top to bottom: a knife, needle

nose pliers, wire cutters, wire

strippers, and eletrical tape.

Step 1

Step 2You should receive the follow

in your plug kit:

- 1 female plastic connector

- 1 male plastic connector

- 2 female metal leads

- 2 male metal leads

- 4 rubber grommets


2/15

Step 3

Take the female plastic conne

female metal leads, and rubb

grommets and set them aside

You should note the red and

black wires exiting the black

insulated wire housing.

Take your knife and carefully

about 3/4 down the center t

allow the black and red wire

more slack

Step 4

Be careful and cut straight do

Try not to cut into the housin

of the red or black wire.


3/15

Peel back the insulation hous

to expose the red and black

wires.

Step 5

With the red wire in hand, pla

the metal lead over the expo

portion of the red wire.

Make sure the red wire hous

lines up with the taller tabs

while the exposed wire lines

with the shorter tabs.

Using needle nose pliers, crim

down on the shorter tab on t

exposed wire.


4/15

Then crimp the taller tabs do

onto the red wire insulation

housing.

Crimp the remaining short ta

onto the exposed portion of

wire.

Continue holding the metal le

over the wire especially if the

gauge (thickness) of the wire

thin. Make sure the housing i

still lined up with the longer t

before crimping the other sh

tab.

Step 6


5/15

Using a pair of wire cutters, lig

crimp the shorter tab portion t

ensure good wire contact with

metal lead.

Be careful not to crimp too ha

with the crimpers as this can a

sever the wire and metal lead.

Do this for both of the taller ta


6/15

Take two rubber grommets

and slide them over the two

metal leads with the narrowe

end oriented toward the outt

end of the lead.

Do the same procedures in

steps 5 and 6 for the black

wire.

Gently tug on the wires and t

metal leads to ensure they a

securely crimped.

Step 7


7/15

Orient the metal leads with th

remaining tab facing upwards

and line them up with the bac

of the female plastic connect

Step 8

Take the female plastic conne

and orient it so the side with

notches are facing up and the

side with the triangular notch

facing down.

Insert the metal leads into th

back of the connector until yo

feel them click. Once the lead

are set, you will not be able to

pull them out.

Check if the blades of the

leads came through the othe

side properly.


8/15

Make sure to check the back

of the connector and ensure

the rubber grommets were

seated properly.

Roughly measure how much

excess housing there is at the

base of the connector.

Step 9

Cut the excess wire housing

with a pair of side cutter or

a knife.


9/15

Use a small length of electric

tape and wrap the end of the

wire housing you cut earlier.

This completes the femal sid

the Deutsch connector.

Take your complimenting en

of wires, remaining male plas

connector, metal leads, and

rubber grommets and set th

aside.

Step 10


10/15

Strip approximately 1/4 of th

insulation housing off. If you d

not have a wire stripping tool

you may also use your knife t

score a cut around the wire

housing and strip the wire thi

way.

Place the metal lead over the

exposed portion of the wire.

As before, make sure the wire

housing lines up with the talle

tabs on the metal lead, while

the exposed wire lines up wit

the shorter tabs.

Step 11


11/15

Crimp both short tabs over th

exposed wire with your needl

nose pliers.

Again, be careful not to crimp

too hard. Lightly tug on the w

and the metal lead after to

ensure that the wire is securecrimped.

Then crimp the taller tabs dow

onto the wire insulation hous

Step 12


12/15

Be careful not to crimp too h

with the crimpers as this can

sever the wire and metal lead

Do the same procedures in

steps 11 and 12 for your gro

wire (typically black).

Take two rubber grommets a

slide them over the two meta

leads with the narrower end

oriented toward the outer en

the lead.

Step 13

Using a pair wire cutters, lig

crimp the shorter tab portion

ensure good wire contact wit

the metal lead.


13/15

Orient the metal leads with th

remainig tab facing upwards

and line them up with the ba

of the male plastic connector

Take the male plastic connec

and orient it so the side with

large plastic release tab faces

Determine which wire is your

wire (typically red or white) so

when you insert the male plug

into the female end, it will ma

the red wire on the both ends

Pictured: red (live) on right an

the black (ground) on the left

Remove the orange lock tab f

the end of the of male plug.

Step 14

Step 15


14/15

With your wires still lined up

correctly on the back of the

connector, insert the metal lea

into the back of the connector

until you feel them click. You

should see the metal leads ap

on the front of the connector.

Line the orange lock tab up wi

the front of the connector whipushing it on and squeezing th

sides until it as flush as possib

with the sides of the connecto

body.

It is okay if the sides of the ora

lock tab do not sit completely

flush. It will not affect the use o

the connector.

Lightly tug on each inidividual

wire to make sure they are

properly seated.


15/15

Finished!

Take your female connector a

test fit it on your newly finishe

male connector.
