Dumb question about disconnects

[meta87]

I'm sorry this is such a stupid question

When you use female disconnects do you run the wire through the little grooves on the side of the metal part, or just leave it in the middle?

Thanks!

I don't think it really matters.  Just jam the wire in the hole and use the crimper to smash the disconnect down.  

Test your work by giving the wire a tug.  It should not budge or be loose.

It sounds like you are using them incorrectly. The metal part with the 2 grooves is for the microswitch connection, your wiring goes into the small end, either 1 wire or 2 depending on what you are doing. Sorry in advance if I misunderstood you.
