Re: Quick connects (22 awg) for solenoids

I have usually used PWM type quick connects and plugged directly into the solenoid breakout.

If the wire isn't long enough, I get more small wire (22-28awg) and solder it to the solenoid wire, then crimp the end to plug into the solenoid breakout.

We're using some 28awg ribbon cable this year. We tried to find rainbow (Emily asked for rainbow), but ended up using regular gray.
