Ok, I received the MTA156 connectors/dust covers and the 18AWG from
Mouser- I also bought the plastic $22 "tool" to aid in stuffing the
wire into the plug.
A first attempt, I stripped an end of wire, twisted it a bit, and was
able to place it (by hand) into an MTA slot fairly easily - a little
snug, though can be easily removed.
Is this all there is to it? How much of the wire do you usually
strip to place in the "slot"?
Thanks for all the help, I've only seen these Pconn wire setups over
the internet, not in person.
