Re: multi-pin connectors
 

I noticed a few of the last posts seem to be recommending the 45AMP contacts. Over at PowerWerx and other sites, they're saying 45AMP contacts should be used on 10AWG wire. We were planning to use 12AWG to wire the Jaguars and motors, etc. Thus, a few questions:

Since we only have 12AWG right now, is that safe and legal for the motors, etc? From what I've read in the rules, I'd say yes.

Will the 45AMP contacts crimp down far enough to safely grab the 12AWG, if they're designed for 10AWG? From what I know of wiring, there's not too much of a size difference there.

The datasheet from Anderson

shows that the 45 amp contacts are designed to be used with 14 thru 10 gage wire.

Well, so it does. That answers all the questions then, I guess. Consider us converted. We shall use Anderson power poles.
