Hi. I’ve just received my box of KabelDirekt banana plugs. Each plug has two screws. One near the cable end of the plug, the other screw nearer the plug end if that makes sense. Should both screws contact the core or should the screw closest to the cable end pinch the outer sleeve of the cable?

Both screws are metal.

TIA.
 
Both on the core, outer should be stripped back to kit go inside or just go inside a bit, make sure no core is showing outside so less risk of shorting..
 
Two screws make for a firmer, better connection. Most banana plugs will have two screws.
