Best power connector for WS-12-250-DC

Thu Aug 10, 2017 4:44 pm

Hello Forum,
I'm currently using a home made connector for the WS-12-250-DC switches. Is there an off the shelf part that connects well with the red and black threaded power input ports? I'm also looking at a power efficiency of >91%, is this normal or are there ways to tweak the setup to achieve greater efficiency.

Thanks again!
AMK

Why not just bare the wire, stick it in the hole, and screw it tight? If you use stranded wire, tin it first to keep it from fraying. If the wire gauge is too big to fit in the hole then just bend a loop to go around the post.

I would worry about accidentally knocking out the plug.
