Re: Electrical Connectors

Al, I think he's referring to the small powerpoles, designed to use the roll pin to hold them together. An assembled black/red pair can be zip tied together, but what keeps red and black next to each other?

We don't use super glue, instead some far weaker glue, just enough to gum up the dovetail so it doesn't come apart easily.

Woe to the team that uses the metal roll pins: They WILL come out and short power to ground, these should never be used.
