wire termination for screw terminals

The black rigid barrier/terminal blocks often have square washers, typically with the corners bent down. These handle bare stranded wire reasonably well, and ferruled wire perfectly. Round washers can be problematic for both, depending on the design, and are better served with ring or fork terminals. The type pictured below destroys stranded wire though, and should really only be used with solid core or ferrules. Or perhaps not at all.

that's the type on this particular board. :( i ended up going with ferrules, they seem to be working great but of course in the span of just weeks so would bare wire.
