Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to install this Square D 9080MHA10 screw-on end clamp?
A.
- Strip the insulation from the end of the wire that needs to be secured. Ensure that the exposed wire is clean and free from any debris.

- Once the wire is securely clamped, visually inspect the installation to make sure everything is in order.
Q. Do screw-on end clamps provide electrical insulation?
A. Screw-on end clamps are primarily designed for mechanical fixation and organisation of wires. They do not provide electrical insulation. If insulation is needed, appropriate insulating materials should be used in conjunction with the clamps.
Q. What maintenance is required for this Square D screw-on end clamp?
A. Periodically inspect the clamp to ensure it is still securely fastened and the wires have not become loose. If you notice any signs of wear, damage or deterioration, consider replacing the clamp to maintain a safe electrical connection.
