Re: Problem with Jags stopping unexpectedly

Guys,
The terminals that Danny describes are really meant for low strand count stranded wire or solid conductors. Thomas & Betts STC0414 4STR CU LUG terminals have a wire clamp. I prefer these or equivalent for stranded wire. It is important that you strip the wire such that at least 1/8" of wire extends beyond the clamp when you terminate the wire. If not the wire will simply be pushed out of the connector when you tighten the hardware.
