Overview
|
The OLC-2 eliminates the needs for soldering, crimps, and expensive connectors, all while creating a perfect connection between two wires. The two wires are stripped 3/8” and then slid into opposing ends of the OLC-2, where they overlap each other. A set screw on the side of the OLC-2 is gently tightened, and presses into the overlapping wires, creating a cold solder joint where the two wires meet. The OLC-2 can also be used to create perfect connections with Thermocouple wire, which means no more bulky TC connections. Wire Compatibility: Minimum Gauge - 24awg, Maximum Gauge - 16awg E.I. products include all documentation and certifications |

EI OVERLAP CONNECTOR OLC-2
The best type K thermocouple wire connector out there. Simple, streamline, fast and secure. Way better to use this than the JPI ring connector method.

EI OVERLAP CONNECTOR OLC-2
These connectors work great. I am replacing all the crimp on connectors on my EI EGT and CHT probes. No more more lost signal.
I was first introduced to this style connector when one came in the box with a new Gold Cube fuel flow transmitter. That was the OLC-1 with a single set-screw. It made a very solid mechanical connection great for wires in a high-vibration area. The OLC-2 with two set-screws, though slightly bulkier, is a little easier to assemble and still makes a great connection. Im using them for every electrical connection in the engine compartment. PS. It would be nice if Spruce threw in the needed allen wrench with an order of connectors, as the manufacturer does...
No, it does not take a 3/64 hex driver, there is no such thing and the FAQ is wrong. Below 1/16, English-unit (ANSI/ASME) hex screws and drivers have decimal sizes and the set screw is 0.050 inches. This is indeed a standard size for hex screws and drivers and my discount Stanley socket set came with one. It is necessarily a bit small for some sets but its available.
These worked flawlessly making 8 connections between MGL “K” EGT probes and MGL E-1 gauge. The gauge now accurately reads EGT temperatures for my Rotax 582 engine.
