Re: [SilverStreak] To wire trailer connectors

["waymark1@xxxxxxxx" <waymark1@xxxxxxxx>]

According to Valley Installation Instructions Model 5212 5216 7-Way Electrical Connector, 
"Do not strip ends of wires. Set screws in connector will cut through insulation when 
they are tightened."

I just recently acquired this instruction sheet. I have always stripped the end of the wire 
before inserting the wire into the connector socket. A couple of times I crimped appropriate 
bullet plugs onto the wire ends and inserted them into the connectors, then tightened the 
setscrews. Both ways have been 100% reliable. So far. :-)

For what it's worth, I found it helpful to solder spade lugs on the trailer side wires, with 
the exception of the center ground wire, and then just screw them in place. It helps with the 
problem of a wire strand coming loose and shorting.
