Use a crimp butt terminal instead: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchB...t&R=3619348

we have ceramic "chock blocks" at work,

I'll try and find out where they came from tomorrow.

however I do agree, crimping is stronger, better connection (ie will not get so hard and brittle so quick) and cheaper way to do it.. oh and faster.

AND, you wont get that horrible, grind-your-teeth thing when the screwdriver rubs the ceramic.... god I hate it!!!!!

Normal coloured plastic insulated crimps work in most like situations. After that there are un-insulated copper crimps or more esoteric nickel metal crimps good to 600c I think -Sort out insulation or separation though. My local B&Q has dual ceramic choc block in 5 or 10 amp size, but that will not be your local store and stocks will differ. Regard any joiner in the cable as a temp repair -they will die and need replacing along with the lampholder. -If the lamp pins are scorched change the holder too.

Hi.

Ceramic choc block and heat resistant sleeving is available from CPC, and they usually have it in stock.
