Hi, here is a question I need help.

A 3/C #14 AWG Rockbestos cable for a Astrodyne power supply (30W, 120VAC input) has been routed. Then it was found out that power supply can only terminate #18 AWG cable. Can some kind of adapter be used? I have no such experience before. Please advise.

Thanks

What is the connection type at the power supply.. barrier strip? set screw connector?
If barrier strip type connection then just use the right size fork/ring terminal
 
mcgyvr; It has screw connector. So what should be used? Thanks
 
screw connector..
Then assuming stranded wire, a "wire ferrule" (flat or round blade) as posted by flexo above will work just fine too.
