End Connections: End connections are made when the end of a wire is
connected. To make an end connection, you will have to remove about 1” of
insulation from the wire and form the end into a “fishhook” shape, as shown
below.
In the following drawing, a wire end connection is used to make an electrical
connection to one of the Fahnstock clips mounted on the pine board. Note we
show the wire as a “dotted line” where it passes under the Fahnstock clip. When
the Phillips screw is tightened, a good electrical connection is made. The
drawing shows how the wire hook is placed between the Fahnstock clip and
board.
Through connections are used when the wire goes to a electrical connection at a
Fahnstock clip, and then continues on to make one or more connections to other
points. The directions will tell where to make a through connection on a wire,
and how much insulation needs to be removed.
