I have read a lot about the cables, but nothing I saw mentioned the stud size. Will a 5/16" connector work, or does it need 3/8" or larger?

The screws on the back are 1/4", with supplied washers I'm able to use my 2AWG cables with 7/16" ends.

The connectors on the inverter are on the small side anyway so as long as they are secure or shouldn't be a problem.

I used a 1/4-20 (1/4" dia., 20 thread per inch) tap to thread the existing bolt holes in the studs to prevent losing all those nuts and washers. I believe my cables are 4AWG with 5/16" connectors. One thought I had the other day is, I wonder how well a set of jumper cables would work at connecting between the inverter and battery?

no it won't. I tried 1/8" and whoever said it would work should be shot. I ended up buying the 5/32" wire. Hope this helps.

Yes, this will easily work with 3/8 cable. Groove diameter is over 1/2 " so it will work with even larger cables.

I just used rg6 connectors and it worked fine. I have since bought the new type of connectors that the cable guys use but haven't use any yet.

Thanks for your response. I bought one of these connectors but it was the wrong size, too small to fit the one I had. I am looking for the right one to fit my existing connector.

Hi Nick. I have not seen connectors like this given a size (#8 or #10) so cant answer your question in the format you asked. It it helps, I looked at the strip and you could get anything from a solid or a stranded 12g to 22g wire into the hole though would probably tin the light duty stuff before putting it in so it had better stiffness and firm grip.

If you're going to use Aluminum SER (Service Entrance Rated) cable, be advised it's thick and harder to work with than copper but available at your big orange box store. I spent a lot of time looking into this and without getting technical, I went with 1/0. Google "Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors" and remember that you can't necessarily look to the 90 degree column and that inspectors will re-rate, or reduce the allowed amperage based on other factors. For my short run to me it was better to go bigger and be sure.

I don't know why it didn't work for your application. I think you should consider the fact that at least 1/6 of the purchasers had trouble with this cable. With that in mind, even though it worked for me I can't really recommend this cable for your application.Good luck finding a different cable.v

One of these cables will certainly not work with a desktop 3.5" hard drive because 3.5" desktop hard drives require separate power. They cannot be powered by a USB device like 2.5" laptop hard drives can be.

Mine is from 5/8" to 1 3/8". I really do not know if the 1/2" will work. I have not tried it. You might contact PC customer service and ask them to be sure if that is important to you. Wish I could have been more help.

it wont help at all, this was my worst and most useless adapter i ever tried to figure out...i usually only work with 1/4 inch connections...this little adapter is great for RCA cables but amazon should describe what their selling with some detail cause they confused the hell out of me...nothing that YELP cant handle..

1/8 th of an inch has 2 "1/16" in it so 5/16 ths of an inch is 2- 1/8ths and and then half an 1/8 th of "1/16 th of an inch.The snatch block handle up to 3/8's of an inch cable so "Yes" it will work with your 5/16 th cable which is smaller than 3/8.Look at a ruler or a tape measure to figure it out next time and you will earn its not that hard.Hope this helps.Ad says up to 7/16 cable which is one 1/16 th more than a 3/8 cable.

The installation size listed is 182mm x 53mm x 159mm (7-3/16" x 2-1/8" x 6-5/16"). I believe 6-5/16ths is the depth from the front of the mounting sleeve back. I don't think this leaves much room for wiring behind it, so make sure you have ~7 inches.

I'd imagine the only difference would be the length of the wire. Keep in mind though that signals degrade based on the length of the wire. My 0.5 cable works flawlessly. If I needed more length I'd probably go for something gold plated.

Hi, We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.

Just one thing to think about. Be sure that the length of these cables is the length you require to do the job. I didn't do that and find these cables were shorter that I really needed. I ended up hooking these two end-to-end to make one replacement for a longer cable that I messed up and had to replace.

It works just fine compared to other cables. If the standard size cable is compatible there's no reason this one shouldn't work for you.
