Richard,
As far as the thin wire goes: Some people strip off more than an inch of
the insulation and then fold the bare copper back on it's self several
times to make a larger end to crimp in the pin.
I prefer to use a few inches of heavier wire, like number 14 crimped into
the pin and then crimp a butt splice to connect the 14 wire to the
thinner wire. On a device that pulls a lot of current, you would have to
consider voltage drop in the extra splice, but you are dealing with a
fraction of an amp here and it is no problem. I have a lot of low current
stuff set up this way and have done away with a lot of wall warts.
73 and happy crimping, Steve KW3A
