No insulation should go into the little hole. It's not supposed to.
Strip enough of the insulation so that only bare wire goes into the hole; about 1/2 inch, or so, of bare wire. insert the wire until the insulation won't let you go any farther. you should have about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch, or so, of bare wire to bend back over the edge. Screw the top half on. Viola!
I'll repeat. No insulation goes into the hole. It just won't fit, and isn't supposed to. But, don't leave any bare wire showing at the bottom of the plug. You want the insulation up snug to the bottom of the hole.
Don't give up
Something funky with photobucket. It won't let my pictures show, and I can't get into my page. DRAT!

OH Jeez. Don't pay any attention to what I say. I'm just some old guy, whose brain is giving out. (What's that they say about a picture being worth a thousand words?)

The other plugs I have have a collar around the base before the little hole, so if the insulation between the two is uneven, it's hidden. That's all I really meant. It's somewhat difficult with two leads to get the insulation matched and get them both to stick in the center hole. I'll give it another shot tomorrow night. No time tonight; it's the M22/M50 shootout! (again, or something...)
