I'm worried about putting spade crimp terminals onto a cable for use in a vehicle.
I'm worried about the conductor strands at the connector flexing and breaking over time.
There seem to be terminals with one, and with two crimping clamps - so one will be for the conductor alone, and the other for the insulation+conductor.
Would it be acceptable to use ones with a single crimp section?
For example, using 16A thin-wall multi-strand single cable, to connect with an insulated terminal onto a pole of a lighter socket.
I was considering using heat-shrink sleeving on top of the insulated terminal, extending to part of the wire, to provide strain relief. Is this necessary? Is this enough?
Thanks again
