Good electrical practice also suggests using a minimum number of electrical contacts in a a high current circuit. Each terminal introduces series resistance and one more potential point of failure.
Al,
Thanks for the clarification. As I have not worked all that much on high current circuits, this is useful information to me. Thank you again.
