Two 10AWG wires into one distribution block position

An engineer where I work showed me this nifty solution today. It is a wire ferrule (Digikey 288-1032-ND) that accepts 10 square millimeters cross-section. That's roughly equivalent to 7 AWG, so two strands of 10 AWG fit nicely. Then the crimped ferrule fits snugly into the distribution block so the connection won't work loose. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1906659...8928/?edited=1

The crimper (Digikey 288-1059-ND) is $188.46. Pricey for a FIRST team, but luckily we can borrow one from a sponsor for a few days.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
