Those connectors are no good for you (or anybody else) to use.

You said

Cable is all 10mm

Those crimps are for 6mm cable.

Big brother is watching you......

Not reading again, TTC? Those are red ones, not yellow.

The link is to yellow crimps.

nope, deffo red in the description..

 

[JohnnyG]

So it is, if only I could read.

That's so petty.

That link gives you a picture of a yellow crimp.
The description is for red crimps. (Good ole RS).

You couldn't get a 10mm conductor in either a red, yellow (or a blue) insulated crimp.

I've seen 10mm in yellow crimps before, not all of the strands mind you, but hey it still works dunnit...

One of the things with many online sellers, PARTICULALLY electronic component vendors is they often have one photo for an entire range of parts but the way their website is structured does not make this at all clear.

Apologise, I mean't to post a Yellow Crimp. What are these rate too??


I don't want to use it for a 10mm cable?! I know on other posts I've mentioned 10mm, but not this one.

2+2 = 5 comes to mind.


Why do you think I'm going to use them with 10mm cable??????

 

[JohnD]

the metal of the rings is very thin for a large, stiff cable. I would be a bit worried about the ring breaking off if you moved the appliance or tugged the cable, unless it is well-clamped into position and the cable dressed to shape first. The copper tube lugs are much stronger, but need a bigger crimper.

edit
oops, sorry, you mean the in-line connector? the yellow is for 6mm.

What current are they safe for? As terminal block is rated, but these don't seem to have a rating on anywhere.
