A different (i.e. better?) IDC

<p>Very interesting. A Posi-Tap connector does look like a nice device. However, the manufacturer specifies stranded wire for all of their Posi-Products including the Posi-Tap (<a href="http://www.posi-lock.com/newproducts.html">http://www.posi-lock.com/newproducts.html</a>). I am sure this is due to the center punch design of their primary tap (<a href="http://www.posi-lock.com/instructions1.html">http://www.posi-lock.com/instructions1.html</a>). If you are using stranded wire then the Posi-Tap may definitely be the way to go but I would be a little concerned about using these devices for solid wire -- especially on DCC bus work. For low current draw lighting I can see where Posi-Taps could really be a timesaver.</p><p> Thanks for the tip.</p><p>-John</p>
