Interesting list. I'm curious, though, what drives the renunciation of
Faston connectors.... after spending countless hours studying Bob Nuckolls'
website (http://www.aeroelectric.com) he seems to be directly at odds with
that particular statement, and highly recommends the use of Fast-on
connectors thanks to the reduction of failure modes over screw-type terminals.
The link directly to his article entitled "FastOn Tabs vs. Ring
Terminals... What's the Difference?" is at
http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/faston3.pdf and provides a thorough
and well-thought out discussion of the subject. Perhaps someone with an
alternative viewpoint (Brent?) would be willing to outline the fallacies in
Bob's arguments for us. I've never seen a logical critique of his position
and would truly like to know just how he might be leading us astray.
