Now take one of the red and one of the black 12ga wires and insert them into the terminal
block. Insert the smaller 18ga wire first and THEN the 12ga wire. Just like with the smaller wire, if
you can see more than 1/16” of bare wire sticking out of the connector, trim it until it seats fully with
little or no exposure of the bare wire.
3.3 – Put a Ring (terminal) On It...
...and a few female spade terminals too!
It's time to finish the RAMBo connector wiring by attaching two 12-10 AWG ring terminals to
the 12ga wires coming out of the compression terminal block. When crimping a connector like this,
you'll want to make sure that the tip of the wire is visible at the end of the crimp-barrel as shown below.
Each connector only needs a single crimp –
there's no reason to hammer it with the crimping tool.
As you can see in the background of Fig. 3.3-1, there's
only a single crimp in the 12-10 ring terminal.
