If you going to wrap the electrical wire around the terminal screw on the electrical receptacle (or a light switch terminal) you need to strip back a bit more than 1/2-inch in order to have enough copper to go around the screw leaving no insulation under the screw head when it is tightened. Similarly, it is asked, how much insulation do I need to strip wire? This is especially likely when you're joining multiple solid wires to one stranded wire. Subsequently, question is, can you mix solid and stranded wire? If you hold the ends of solid and stranded wire even with each other while you screw on the wire nut connector, the stranded wire will often wrap loosely around the solid wires, resulting in a loose connection. All are normally terminated in special terminal blocks (not chocblock) which give a degree of contact touch safety.
Most of these crimp tags are used on panel wiring with a voltage of around 110vdc with some at 240v.
Subsequently, one may also ask, can you use crimp connectors on 240v?
