You can also connect a combination of two conductors of up to 1.0 mm each to a screw-type
or spring-type terminal. You must use special wire end ferrules for this purpose. Two types
and manufacturers of such ferrules are given below:
•
Phoenix TWIN
Type no. 32 00 81 0, for 2 x 1 mm
2
•
AMP
Order no. 966 144-4, for 2 x 1 mm
