Hey all.Got a question about screw terminals.
I'm planning on getting some solid core wire for some internal power wiring (eg: IEC -> fuse -> switch -> etc).
Now, when using stranded wire, screw terminals make good contact.I can't picture getting the same kind of contact when using solid core, as the wire doesn't "squish".
What have your experiences been like when using solid core and screw terminals ?
