If you are going to use the APP connectors, be sure to use the 15 amp terminals and if your wire is very small gauge, I recommend you strip twice the length needed and fold over the exposed wire before inserting. This will give you a more reliable crimp. Don't forget the need to terminate the bus.
What are you going to be using Al? We wanted something fast, easy, reliable, and preferably that we already owned a crimping tool for.
