Compressor Wiring to Pneumatic Module too small.

With all these "beta" and "alpha" teams out there that had a chance to wire up with these new modules...

Did you give any feedback to how small the spring connection is to the compressor wiring? Our electrical team feels it's very difficult and not sufficient enough of a connection for the compressor. In the process of trying to terminate 18 AWG, the spring clamp broke. Of course we had to make some modifications to make the module work.

Also their feedback with the power connections are the same, reducing down to 20 AWG to get the best "pull test" tug on the wires.

Anyone else have opinions of these new spring clamps?
