Preferred procedure screw terminal blocks
Preferred procedure screw terminal blocks
(OP)
There's plenty advice about making tight electrical crimp connections but I do not recall seeing anything about screw terminal block connectors. I have seen a lot of mashed up bits of copper wire and the odd wire pin connectors making these connections. What's the best way of sticking a bit of wire into a hole and tightening the screw without that sinking feeling you're relying the good graces of the god of smoke?
Once you tighten that screw, I am concerned the heat, vibration, etc is likely to work against the integrity of the connection , or am I over thinking things?

Was hoping someone had a trick.

Use a sleeve crimped over the wire if you have a crappy terminal block or simply change out the terminal block for a better one.
