Just put the wire in and squeeze the bejesus out of it right? |

| OSCAR:
The only real trick is to make sure you have the right size disconnect for the wire you are using. Using a blue disconnect on 22ga wire wire make for a sloppy connection that won't hold well. Generally speaking: 22-16ga wire = red disconnects 16-14ga wire = blue disconnects 12-10ga wire = yellow disconnects (I can't imagine anyone has ever used these on an arcade cabinet!) |

I had a really hard time getting the 22 gauge to stay in the red connector. I finally started folding the tip of the wire in half, and I didn't have any problems at all. Paul |

I had the same problem on mine. I'm using thermostat wire (20ga IIRC) and found that using a better crimper helped me out. |
