T3,
Tinning wire before insertion into a clamp type terminal should not be used. It prevents the wire strands from compressing inside and providing maximum contact area with the terminal. A tinned, stranded wire will act like a solid wire in most cases, usually making the problem worse and raising the series resistance.
