Re: Using Lever-Nut connectors for super-easy robot wiring?

Sgt,
The voltage rating on these connectors are the safe level at which touching the outside of the connector will not result in an arc to your finger. The max current specification is rated for continuous current over a long period. The PD is rated much higher than 40 amps. It is merely the breaker used for the size wire that you may use. #12 wire (minimum size) can be used with a 40 amp breaker.
