Re: Electrical Connectors
This year we used spade connectors on our Jaguars with the Tyco tabs. It was terrific when we needed to switch out a Jaguar or move them around. We had quite a few problems with them coming off, though. Especially given the trauma of going over the bumps.
What we found was we had to be careful to bend the 12 gauge wires such that they naturally wanted to push the connectors in.
We were using normal Home Depot female spade connectors. Are there any that grip more firmly? It happened enough this season that the team is ready to try hook connectors next time.
