Re: [FTC]: Using Anderson Connectors for wiring.
Alex,
The quoted text is part of the "R14 Part Modification" section of the manual. There should be no problem with preparing a wire(s) with appropriate connector for the power switch extension under this rule. Use the same size wire or larger for this cable.
Wires for screw type terminals, the push terminals on the FRC PD and for the Anderson Power Products should never be tinned prior to installation. By tinning, you limit the surface area of the engaged wire such that it degrades the current capability by the equivalent of several wire sizes (AWG). The resulting loss in wire size results in localized heating of the wire joint. In crimped contacts, the crimp tool may make a substandard crimp resulting in not only heating but also may result in wire pullout.
