agree that ideal word no crimping solid cores and adaptable box with din mount screw terminals inside

but its not ideal im afraid lol
 
Guilty of using crimps and still do when space is of a premium.

But, as suggested, suitable enclosure with din rail terminals is the way to go.
 
I have always stood fast on never crimping solid cables until very recently when i was in a position where it was unavoidable.

I remember thinking at the time about this forum and the various thoughts and I felt guilty doing it after making such a stance on here but I remember thinking to myself

'if you cant beat em join em (literally lol)'

I wont make a habit of it thats for certain but I suppose in certain circumstances I can now see why its unavoidable:)
 
I've used some of those HelaCon Plus connectors recently and think they're really good, cost £8.99 for 100 of the 3-way ones . As far as I'm aware they can only be used on cables between 1mm and 2.5mm, but i've seen some similar-ish ones on Ebay made by "Wago" described as "lever connector block electric crimps" which will apparently take up to a 4mm stranded core.
