PC end cap wiring Q

[Masoch]

Hi,

 

I've wired PC end caps before (biax style) where there were six holes for the four pins -- basically, red wire to pin 1, yellow to pin 4. For pins 2 and 3, connect each of their respecitive holes together with a couple pieces of wire.

 

But ... I just found 8 pin end caps locally. So, I now have 2 holes for pins 1 and 4. Do I split my red and yellow wires into 2 and use both holes? Or just 1 wire into one hole? Pins 2 and 3 should still be connected, I'd imagine.

 

I'd experiment, but I don't want to nuke my ballast ... or bulb

 

Thanks!

I would asume you would do it exactly as before wouldnt you ?

only diference is now you have 4 more holes with no wire coming in or out of them. Just out of curiosoty why in God's name would you want 8 pin endcaps for a biax 2 pin bulb?
