The length of exposed wires is critical. Ideal length is C 3/16” (5 mm). If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16” the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit. If the stripped section of wire is shorter, wires can easily be pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws. Do not tin the stripped leads! Tinned wires are not as N secure in the captive screw and direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out. Verify the polarity before connection! P
