How do you connect this clip

They are springy and just held in place under their own spring tension. This design in my view does make them unreliable in the longer term.

.

Subject to your exact layout plan and where your controller is connected to that layout, then situations can arise where much of the power being consumed on the layout all passes through the clips of one single point.

.

In these cases the clips have sometimes been reported on the forum to glow red hot and melt the point plastics. Personally, I wouldn't use these clips except on very small basic layouts and would much prefer a well designed and implemented DCC BUS wiring system .... but that is not the question you asked and a complete new topic in its own right.

TIP: As a newbie poster on the forum, just be aware that the 'Blue Button with the White Arrow' is not a 'Reply to this post' button. If you want to reply to any of the posts, scroll down and write your reply in the reply text box at the bottom of the page and click the Green 'Reply' button.

Particularly as my reply includes an image, using the 'Blue Button' may result in your reply being held back for image approval, even though it is an existing image.
