Electrical – Best way to splice together 20/22 gauge wiring

electricalwiring

We have some holiday lights that had wiring snipped it seems and wondering what others have done to permanently splice 22 gauge wiring (fed from 3.5V plug).

Update: On one set I have soldered the two segments together via gas stove (yes this worked well and it is one unit unless I break out scissors. Which I guess I will have to do since you need to put on the crimper or whatever connector. Guess I can redo once one of these is already on one side since it has power unit on one end and street light on another.

3M Scotchlok's would work for this application. They too would require a trip to a store, but the nice part is you don't need to strip the wire as they are self-piercing. They can connect two or three wires, and are filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance.

They are typically used for Telco wiring, but support wire gauge from 26-19AWG.
