Niels,
Yes, I think it highly advisable to have a single conductor per
connector and
even if you can find a crimp connection that will handle multiple wires you
also want to look closely at whether or not these wires require two retention
methods - generally in mains wiring. You may find that the wire has to be
retained both in the crimp and with a second method - other than solder - such
as a another crimp around the wire insulation. The connector and tool combined
make the connection all in one crimping action - but I don't know of a
connector that would do that for multiple wires. You would have to use wire
ties or something to join the two wires together and form the second retention
method - if required.

Subject: [PSES] SV: Question about quick-connectors
Thank you very much for the answers.
The connectors in question are like those on this home page:
http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=quick_disconnect&channel=prod
ucts&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction
I think that it is advisable to have one connector per wire, and with
connectors accepting more than one free connector there are not many reasons
for not doing so.

If you mean push-on connectors which crimp on to the wire, it is usually
held that it is not acceptable to crimp on to more than one wire.
However, there are various fixed push-on connectors that accept more
than one free connector, so there should be no need to try to crimp more
than one wire into one free connector.
