See full version: The Best Wire Connectors for Connecting a Solid; Stranded Wire
For tapping into wires without cutting, stripping, and soldering cables, buyers can use the TICONN T Tap Wire Connectors. This connector allows us to have accessible wire taps to quickly and effortlessly install electrical lines.
But best of all, this connector accepts almost any kind of wire. We can use solid core electrical wires and fine-stranded cables, as long as they’re 12 to 24 AWG. That means one can use this for almost any kind of wiring application.
But before that, here are the three main things you should consider when looking at wire connectors.
Re: What method to use for Joining 6 Awg with 10Awg here
I don't think you should plain solder them together as there is no mechanical connection, if the wire gets hot enough to melt the solder the wires are coming apart. Here's a couple idea's; [links]
You can buy terminal blocks/distributers for this purpose. They are used heavily in car audio to distribute power to several amps.
What is a good method of joining 6 awg and 10 awg? I do not think there is a butt splice connector that size. So I think my only option is to solder them and then wrap heat shrink around it? Any other ideas?
I called Minn Kota and they suggested I use 6awg wire to join up with the 10awg from the trolling motor. here
One pin serves as a grounding system on every connector. Thus, a four-pin joint can hold three functions and controls the key lights. Similarly, a five-pin socket can have four functions. Upgrading to a connector with five pins either adds the backup lighting or power-assisted brake. It’s important to note that this endeavor is also affected by the plug.
Next, get rid of your previous trailer wires and running lights by unscrewing the parts and cutting the cables attached to the frame and the lights. Remove the cables from the hauler structure, starting from the back portion to your trailer’s front. If the wires pass through an enclosed part, use previous wirings as a guide to simply yank the new cables through. here
Direct the new wiring to the hauler’s rear. This is the part where the sketched diagram becomes useful as a guide. The yellow cable, as well as the brown-colored ones, should go to the driver’s area. At the same time, the green-colored and brown-colored ones should belong to the passenger’s part. The white one should stay close to the hauler’s tongue.
Check out this remarkable trailer wiring harness kit from NILIGHT. This product comes with eighteen AWG wires. The male piece is 25 feet, while the female one is 4 feet. The two have an electrical ground wire that is extremely handy. Plus, these wires are created to divide at the tongue of the towed vehicle and run on each side for extensive coverage.
I also love its 8 feet extremely flexible connection cord that comes with durable PVC housing. This harness allows me to obtain a flexible connection that comes in handy, whether I use it for turn lights, reverse lights, for RVs or campers. [links]

Re: Splicing two wires into one wire
You guys are making this WAY too tough. 18rabbit explained it perfectly. read into it a bit farther. here
Re: Splicing two wires into one wire
Mechanically and electrically speaking, YES you can insert two wires into one end of a butt connector, either as a merge into one wire out th eother end or simply as a capped connection. <br />As for the USCG, I don't know. You could always try a "Y" connector, available from any good electrical connector supplier. The "Y" connector is essentially three ring terminals joined together with a rivet through the rings.<br />Such an item can be found at Y connector more
Or you could read my post and wire it that way. you are making this too difficult. [links]
