I realize the pushing match current is usually a short term current, but sometimes it runs a several seconds longer than desired.
So, what has been your experience with these, or this type of connector when used in drive trains? |
We use them and love them. They work great. We have been using them for about 5+ years now and have not had any issues with over-drawing current or wires or connectors getting hot.
The biggest issue we have had with them is not being crimped properly. We do pull testing now to help with that though.
