At that cost, I think I will stick with the one I posted earlier, crimps to closed, so may do the fine wire you are talking about, the white ferrels are 0.5mm?
The ones I'm using are violet.At that cost, I think I will stick with the one I posted earlier, crimps to closed, so may do the fine wire you are talking about, the white ferrels are 0.5mm?
Probably. Whatever we usually get from RS...White is 0.5mm², yes. Violet 0.25 surely? Both French code.
Not played with it enough for that yet, but usually a larger cage-clamp at recommended torque flattens out the ferrule anyway. In that sense crimp force is less critical.How do the hex versions fare in cage-clamp terminals? I use the square intermeshed kind from Pressmaster, which leaves the ferrule square and crinkly. I sometimes find with the smaller cables it is rather too crinkly because it applies too much force; is that the problem you had with the Chinese one?
What are meter seals?but are they any good on meter seals? ?
Yes, we use 0.25mm which is the biggest problem for the cheap ones.Violet 0.25 surely?
They do work on meter seals but leave a pattern in the sealbut are they any good on meter seals? ?
About £2.00 for 10 on certain online auction sites.What are meter seals?
