[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Everyone says that. I still remain a skeptic. Plus, they don't make them to match my bus (#12) and feeder (#20) sizes. And using the wrong Scotchlok for the wire sizes involved is pretty much a sure way to failure. I believe the ones that fit #12 wire can tap off a #14-16. The ones for #14 can tape off a #18. [/quote] The 905 for #14 can tap off down to #22. So if #14 is enough for your bus it could be good. BUT, I think that if you tried to use the wrong connector for the wire size then it would not count as properly applied. I don't like the rigidity of a solder joint, especially on a small wire. But if it is well done, and protected from movement it should last for the same forever as the Scotchlok should.
