Smarty (Old BT Buddy), or anyone for that matter.

Anyone know where you can get the BT connector's 1A (Blue Bean's) or 8A's (Clear Crimp's) from? Grease filled not an issue.

CPC do a version of the 8A's, but they are c&*p & fall apart as you take them out of the box :realmad:

They are great for making a joint in a PIR etc.

Regards Chris :)

Try these at Mills Ltd, or LJD have some 3M ones. Can't see any of those falling apart. Just about to order some from Mills myself as the lot that I liberated from the nice BT man have depleted :(

That's the little beauties, thanks Lurch mate, most of my BT buddies have moved onto other things now, so supplies going low :lol:

The Blue ones are good too, was looking around other sites, I think Egerton may have done them? Not sure though.

Ta mate :)

I was going to suggest RS Components but I've just looked on their website and they're 4 times the price :o

Looks like I'll get them from Mills in future.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

There is a design problem with those 3M orange crimps if using on 0.5 ali or 05-06 copper they cut into the cable to much leaving HR disses. Bathches from Feb to Sept seem to be the problem. Hopfuly 3M have delt with the problem now!!

:!: These are ment for solid core cables. Such what I use for alarm cabling here. These WILL cause you troubles later since they cut in the core so when using multicore cable this type connector will cut outer cores and doesn't actually connect. :!:

*goes to search for good and cheap connectors for multi core cables*
