i have brought an Audio leads amp kit. In it comes a black nicle positive battery terminal, some amp cable, etc. in the picture below is a picture of the 35mm cable, + battery terminal and a thread insert i believe is to attach the cable to the terminal. the insert screws into ther terminal. but how does it hold the cable?

 

The insert will hold the outside insulation of the cable. but this is no good, for true contact.

 

i cannot believe you have to either crimp it or solder it. As the gap between the actual metal cable and the insert is quite large.

 

Please help

 

Regards

Just a guess mate, but I reckon you bare the cable and solder it in there!

The insert looks like a gland nut and probably holds the outer insulation secure?

Hello there bud .. you bare the cable into the collet and fan it like a flower over the end off the collet ... insert into the battery terminal and tighten .. it acts as a clamp between the collet and terminal and crushes both together
