I have some really nice 8AWG cable for my power line. Connecting to the PS is
not a problem, but haven't figured out an elegant means to drop it down to
use with 30A PP connectors. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Julius:
I'm using #8 in my mobile installation and had to get it down to a more
suitable gauge for the APP connectors.
I made a couple butt-joint connectors from short (1) lengths of brass
'hobby tubing' obtained at the local hardware store. I took a short piece
of the #8 wire with me and

If it is conventional 8AWG wire, it probably will fit in
the 45A

Hi Tim,
Didn't know they made those. Do you know the part number? Does WMR have them?
Thanks,

Those short #10 pigtails need to be very flexible. You can go to a car
audio shop and by extremely flexible wire by the foot. If it almost
fits the connector, snip off a few strands.
The stuff I got is speaker cable but I use it for power leads. Very
nice.

APP housings come in four physical sizes with current ratings up to 180A.
The next size up from our familiar 15-45A housings is the PP75. It is good
for 6-16 AWG wires. There are adapters (multi-connector blocks) that include
both these larger connectors and the smaller ones. HRO carries this
