It's a common sense issue. If we tin the strands into a solid diameter then clamp the diameter between two flat surfaces the area of contact would be smaller than a bundle that can be flattened when clamped. Ron
Andy Wander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Gotcha. BTW, did you know that tinning stranded wires is NOT recommended for wire-clamp-type terminals? The manufacturers specifically warn against it. They say it will cause the connection to creep and loosen. I still don't believe it by my "gut feeling", but I would guess they know what they are talking about.

The latter. The G204 will have features which I understand will make them (more) idiot-proof, but they will COST more. Understandable. I think I understand that the G201 and G210 will still be available for the old pricing. If so, good. I read instructions, tin stranded wire-ends, tighten screw-terminations properly, use correct DC supplies, regulated or not, and find that a much more satisfyingly economical approach than being sloppy and having to purchase replacements every few days.
