Tidying up hobby size solar controller connections.
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2023 10:38 pm
This has puzzled me for a long time but not formed into proper thoughts..
Where solar charge controllers are concerned...
Why do we rely on a mere screw to hold cable firmly in place? ..why no secondary clamp? (such as holding the cable on a 3 pin plug)
I hate the idea on my hobby controllers of just stuffing the bare cable in & screwing down, compared to other steps taken such as mc4 connectors elsewhere in the chain.
Is there a solid bar insert that can be used available to which I can solder cable strand to & do a better finish?
Banana plugs for hi-fi end to end, not so for solar.
Hope I've not asked this before!?
