Can some one please help me? I am trying to connect a regular 16 guage wire to a connector to connect to a flat wire but the flat wire doesnt seem to fit in this thing. I thought this was to slip into this easily. I bought the right size conncetor also but no luck....... PLEASE HELP!!!!!

kayizm,
All you need to do is curve the flatwire, lengthwise, around something about the same diameter as the hole in the connector. I used a small screwdriver. The wire will then slip right into the connector, and you can tighten the screws on the connector to securely hold the wire.
