Soldering 4MM Plugs

[BrianG]

I've never had any trouble getting tinned 12GA wire into the 4mm connections. Although, I twist the end tightly and then tin the wire just enough to get solder in between the wires so the result is no bigger than the original wire.

Ok, leaving aside all the big wire in small hole jokes, I wonder if the size of the hole on the 4mm connector differs from brand to brand...which one's are you using because I seriously could not fit the 12GA Deans wet noodle wire in there with no solder...please advise which brand (and PN if you have it) 4mm connector you are using.
