0ga ring terminal question

[bad_trip 10+ year member]

is there some kind of trick/method to getting the wire in the ring terminal without smashing/fraying the wire? i can't seem to get it all to fit in there. a bunch of loose strands all keep ending up outside the ring.

on a side note, i am broke. anyone want to send me some money via PayPal? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

skin the wire back & twist the wire tight. you should be able to get them all in there.

u could solder the end of the wire Before taking the cover off to put on terminal

Just trim off excess strands.

sounds like a good idea, i might try that one next time for myself.

I personally am very careful when stripping the wire and as soon as it comes out i hold it together with my fingers and jam it carefully into the ring terminal, can usually get almost all of i in, then i just cut off the few excess strands, won't make much of a difference...
