I completely agree that it is poor practice to tin wires going into a PDB Wago connector; indeed, I agree with Alan Anderson's comments about tinning in general (within the boundaries of FRC at least).

Can anyone show me a Wago document that advises against solid wire for the 745-85X connectors used in the PDB?
