Re: Crimp style connector/wiring question
About wire: House wire is single strand except for large gauge wire. It is not subject to flexing. Automotive wire is multiple strand because it is subject to flexing. Wire that is subject to lots of flexing, like welding cable, has many more strands that are fine gauge. Wire that is subject to moisture, like boats, is tin plated to prevent corrosion. Automotive wire used on boats will have corrosion start at the cut end and travel up the wire to eventually produce a copper oxide wire which is not conductive.
