We're always trying to put anchors, packers, bridge plugs, cement retainers, etc in too small of holes...

20 AWG worked for me - if the board is pulled from the mounting standoffs and you want to fold it back the 18 gauge could be a bit stiff and I'm not sure if the through holes could take that gauge.
Thats probably where the optional phoenix contacts would have come into play when i bought the board. Might have granted us a bigger guage. But i went the solder route. Funny. Them being called phoenix contacts? Fits with the forum. :tongue10: Usually at work we stock two types of terminal blocks. Standard allen bradley J blocks, or phoenix contacts. After that, its ABB or a customer supplied type. I had no clue when i got into this PL thing, how close to work this would be. Lol! Perhaps doing this all week, and then finding tine do MORE of it on my day off is where i run into loss of fun. If i was like joe, this would be fun every day, 24/7 huh? Lol.

I'll help carry them. :occasion5:
ohhhhhh good luck with that. Can you bench press 350 lbs? I once saw a moving guy strap my dads concert grand on his back with just his knuckles and a furniture strap. But that's at half the weight of mine. Unless you are 6 foot nine, 250 lbs, then i apologize. :happy4:

You don't need big wire for the interconnect to the controller board. I would have used 24AWG but since the board could be folded back I wanted something a little more substantial as you don't want wires to break - hence the 20AWG. The gauge of the wire also fills up more of the hole - therefore satisfying the board. :jerk: It seems to me that the cleanest way to assemble this is a direct wire soldered to the board (IMHO) - unless it was a prototype that you'd be pulling out multiple times.

My wife says our 15 year old granddaughter is my height now but I disagree as I think she's shorter. She's 6'2" now and I hope she is done growing.
