🔧
prob_01
Connector broke when tightening the terminal screws.
Common root cause: Excessive tightening of the screws, forcing the plastic body of the connector.
Step-by-step solution: If the connector is still functional, try using a smaller screw or one with finer threads. Otherwise, replace the connector with a new one, tightening the screws just enough to secure the wire without deforming the plastic.
💡
Pro tip: Always tighten screws moderately. If you feel significant resistance, stop and check if the wire is positioned correctly.
