[4]
these are called compact connectors and
[8]
the made by a company called where goal
[11]
and they're absolutely fantastic they
[14]
actually replace these which are
[17]
terminal blocks now a big problem with
[19]
these is that when you tighten the screw
[22]
up onto the cable you actually you can
[26]
actually push the way you so you can
[30]
actually damage the way another thing is
[32]
with these if you don't tighten the
[33]
screw up sufficiently the way is come
[35]
loose and then they tend to start
[37]
sparking which is dangerous
[41]
once your wave actually terminated into
[44]
one of these connectors you can forget
[46]
about it because they don't need
[48]
servicing or anything all you do is make
[51]
the connection and then that's it if you
[54]
look on the back of the connector there
[56]
you can see a look a guide that tells
[60]
you how much of the insulation you need
[62]
to strip off from the conductor which is
[68]
10 mil so these are so easy to use
[73]
all you do is open up the levers
[84]
then push your way into the oil and then
[88]
claws the lever and that's it
[93]
that way it is now secure in there
[96]
another good thing about this type of
[99]
connector is you can use it with a solid
[101]
cable or even standard cable so I want
[105]
to put a piece of flex cable in there
[107]
there's that stranded you can put that
[111]
in there and it'll also grip that as
[113]
well obviously this one is a three pole
[121]
connector so you can accept three waves
[127]
so I can just put another one into that
[130]
all no so you just push it in all the
[135]
way and then close the lever and that's
[138]
it now it's as easy as that
[142]
you don't need a screwdriver you just
[145]
flip your way you push it in close the
[147]
lever and that's a you've made the
[149]
connection now this one's a 3-way
[154]
connector you can also get a two-way one
[159]
and also a five-way one which is really
[163]
useful if you need to connect five ways
[166]
together
[173]
these wave art collectors are really
[176]
easy to use all you have to do is push
[178]
your way into the way more connector and
[180]
press now on the lever
[191]
and it's as easy as that so I'm just
[199]
going to give you a demonstration now
[200]
with valued actually use these one of
[204]
the favorite places where I'd use a
[205]
meter if you were changing a light
[208]
fitting and you add a ceiling rolls up
[212]
then you tear the ceiling rolls off and
[214]
you need to connect all you three live
[216]
wires together so one of these it's
[218]
really simple you just strip your way
[221]
off push it into the connector and
[224]
clausa leave it and then do the same
[227]
with your next way you make sure you
[230]
pushed all the way in clausal leave
[233]
again then put your last wire in there
[240]
and clausal leave it and that's it
[245]
another good thing about these is they
[248]
actually have a tiny although where you
[252]
can actually put up probing so if you
[254]
ever need to do any testing you don't
[256]
need to undo any of the clumps all you
[259]
need to do is push your probe into the
[262]
dedicated terminal low and you can test
[264]
it and make sure that it is live
