stranded wire

[mrcrow]

I crimp multi-strand when the terminal is a screw that rotates as it is tightened down onto the conductor. Too often a few strands get cut by the rotating screw, or they move sideways from under the screw and the screw then does not put any pressure on them. Some 13 amp plugs especially.

i see this as well especially when you take the wring out for any reason...new plug etc
i double the end over...do you think that helps?

aye an ah bet ye hae a few bawbees salted away..

It'll probably be pegged at 1 bawby to the poond initially. There'll be a new seven-bawby coin issued for convenience (stores), known as the buckie.

em..rats buchaidh ye'll ken and that money is only yased in the north east aroond ayberdine

 

[mrcrow]

yes??

Yes and no. Your crimper will likely be for red/yellow/blue insulated crimp terminals. A ferrule crimper has slightly different sized and shaped jaws on it. And some crimp from 4 sides for a better termination.

You might find you're able to crimp them to a certain degree with a standard set of crimpers, but it will be far from a neat job, and may not even be that tight.

If you don't do that much, you're better off sticking to folding back your flex on itself to double the amount of copper in the terminal.

And likely one of the squeeze'n'hope type like this

not a proper ratchet one like this

 

[Iggifer]

Yea, could be, but I thought seeing the picture of the ferrule crimper might have jogged his memory - the first type looks nothing like the same tool (well, it isn't!)

Has the subject changed. CBA to read all that foreign rubbish.

If you didn't have room for two conductors, how will ferrules help?

that foreign rubbish old chap is my mother tongue from 1943 to 1980..but i can appreciate how it may not be the right stuff here...just joking along with the lads...??


two wont fit side by side...or could both stranded wires be fitted into the ferrule prior to crimping?
looks like my crimper is not really for electrical work and i must admit is was so cheap it wobbled when i was crimping the auto cables

cheers
