Direct wire is cheaper and more reliable.

But you can almost guarantee that if you use connectors then you will never need to disconnect them. For motors I have started to use the Neutrik 4-pole speaker connectors. They are not very expensive, they have a nice feel of quality (much more than DIN) and are rated at 20A or 40A. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
