DCC PWM controller temp wire

I’m not quite following you but if the terminal you are referring to is the temperature sensor then you cannot just cut it off. It won’t work if you do....

Oh, so I need to leave the ugly yellow insulated connector on there and not replace it? I thought it was just a special kind of wire, not a special kind of eyelet.

I honestly don’t know, just flagging that this might not be a good idea. Put black heat shrink over the ugly connector.

I would tell you to contact DCC but that is not likely going to generate a response.

Don,

I believe you are mistaken. This is just a stud with a typical eyelet crimp with the yellow cover, which does insulate, but also a gauge indicator. It can 100% be removed and be covered with shrink tube.

That may very well be, it happens often. I’ve installed several DCC fan controllers and the temp sensor inserted into the radiator fins. The OP said the yellow connector was the temp sender. If that’s the case then DCC has changed their design and I suggested he be careful. Covering the yellow with black heat shrink is a low risk solution. Risk/reward analysis, it’s what I do...

Fair enough! Everyone has a different approach to things. I deal with this issue for a living in explosion proof cabinets. Zero issues
