Just so I understand - So you’ll pick a spot inline to strip and solder the two together. This gives you one wire tip to insert into metal sleeve?
Well basically I just make a JR to dual JST then plug fans into that. I'm starting from wire and crimping one JR plug, then two JST plugs, then twisting those together with all negatives together and soldering that, then same for positive. Worth noting all my fans use JST but I'm plugging these into a receiver for power.
Maybe I’ll go this route with the Jr connectors or servo connectors. Whatever they’re called. I’m running to a 3s lipo and the harness I have now is from previous fans that blew up. I wanted to learn how to do it from scratch, but why start over when I have 90% of what I need. Just have to figure out how to get the 2 fans to 1 jr and this solder job seems easy enough
I try to minimize the wire going into the JR Plug because I've had trouble with even 20 awg wire going into it. 22awg seems to be preferable, and for fans only drawing 1.5 amps total between the two, 22 awg is fine and two fans going into one JR isn't an issue.
Generally the Aux ports don't have power on or off capabilities. The receiver power bus continues delivering power to the ports regardless of the PWM signal sent. The only way the fan could turn on or off power would be if it had a PWM circuit controller in between the receiver and the fan.
Yes, most people plug them into the receiver. But with most receivers, as @cancelthefuture said, you can’t shut them off. They simply come on when you power up the rig and stay running until you power it down. That’s why there are cheap inline light controllers.
Others here are giving you the straight scoop.
Appreciate you saying crimping can be a bear. I’ve practiced everyday this week to make good connections on the pins and maybe 1 out of 3 tries I’ll get a nice crimp.Others here are giving you the straight scoop.
But to keep it simple.....
You want all the connections be in Parallel, Red with red, Black with black. Whether you solder, crimp or merely twist all your connections together. Crimping JR connector pins can be a bear. I sometimes do that. Other times I just use Pre-Teminated JR/Futaba connectors and solder at all the wires instead.
I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. No need to be a peepee about it, please point out in any Arrma manual where any Arrma RC receiver turns off power to aux channels.
