Testing wire termination in screw connector https://diode.zone/videos/watch/ff1948c9-e4c0-4e02-8d7e-c588fa0f62c5 When you connect a wire using a screw terminal, there are a couple of different ways to do it. I compare a few, to see which is the most reliable if the wire can move.

Can you be more specific? What kinds of terminals blocks would you be interested in?
The terminal blocks didn't really turn out to be the problem here, the wires broke first in every case.
So maybe I should test something with spring clamp connections, like wago 236 series?

One way I could go for more tests would be different wire styles (strand thickness, number of strands etc), some "hacks" for strain relief (electrical tape or shrink tube for example).

Id love to see more tests especially with different varieties of terminal blocks
