Hi any good way to connect these types of audio wires? I've tried electrical tape and 16/14 gauge quick disconnects but they don't seem to work too well. I preferably don't want to destroy the spade connectors.

 

Can you show where these 3 wires connect?

Spades are pretty cheap.

 

Generally, fork spade terminals like that are clamped under a screw head in a screw teminal and tinned wires are soldered to a loop or turret terminal or through a hole on a PCB. Something like this can interface the two:

 

I would solder and sleeve the wires if you havnt got the correct crimp tool

 

This is one of those posts that would seem to the op'er to get a simple answer.

Really I have no idea if these wires are being connected together:
Or need to be terminated with different method, to connect to an unseen device.
Or if a terminal/barrier strip is needed.
Permanent/ temporary?
Power audio?

Agree with keeping what's there. Even though I have crimp tools, Factory connectors are clean.

These fork wires are from an old phone mic. The straight wires shown terminate in a 3.5mm audio prong. I'm going to connect them together and plug the 3.5 prong to a jack on a circuit board. I've tried with electrical tape and the mic doesn't seem to be working so far so maybe the connections are bad.

 

This would work nicely.................
