Re: General Purpose Connectors
Al,
Thanks for the input. The complexity of construction is really the problem that concerns me, it seems like we always have one or two things that either get mixed up or aren't connected reliably and cause problems.
For drive motors and motors that actually do something, we were using the larger contacts in the series 4 connectors, which are rated at 35A -- so it's better, but not quite able to handle the max current as you pointed out.
