Solid wire and stranded 2 x 14 AWG to 10 AWG [2.5mm² to 6mm²] 2.2 ft-lb 3ft-lb [3 – 4Nm]
Fine stranded 2 x 16 AWG to 12 AWG [1.5mm² to 4mm²] 2.2 ft-lb 3ft-lb [3 – 4Nm]
For fine stranded (flexible) wires, connection is made via cable lugs/ring terminals. When connecting two
individual wires with a U-bracket, cross sections have to be identical.
