A pretty elementary question, I'm afraid. Can you refer me to the proper location of the resource that shows the proper way to splice two wires into one?



Specifically, I'm making a wiring harness for an Icom A210 and I don't want to jam two #18 wires into the single molex pin  for the jumper for ground and power.



Instead, I'd like to take a single wire out of each connector, splice them to a third wire and run that wire to ground and the buss.



I've seen pages on single-wire to single-wire, and I've seen doing this with shielded cable etc., but I'll be darned if I can find the proper technique for this.



Warm regards.

   That works good. We've published similar processes

   on aeroelectric.com



   Solder and insulate techniques range from the

   simple processes described above to the more

   sophisticated (and expensive) process illustrated

   here:

   Any methodology that achieves good mechanical

   and electrical joining of the wires followed by

   robust insulation will serve your purposes. The

   simplest processes are recommended.
