Howdy all.
So my scenario is I have six switches in my new panel that all need to share the same live and ground (easy enough).
From the front, the panel looks like this.
With these being the switches
Now the switches are all obviously in line, with effectively three rows of blades. The ACC feed will be crimped with individual lines going to the relays. The cable I am using is the standard thinwall which is I think 1mm, good for 16amp so no issues there.
I tried baring the wire and weaving in and out of the corresponding pins along the whole row, but its not very neat or reliable unless I solder it up which may cause issues with proximity to the ACC crimp. Would need to put heatshrink on each bit to isolate it, and then do something with the terminals.
Another option is to run it all on one side, and just solder it on with a good amount of solder (possibly not that strong if the switch twists?)
Another option is to crimp onto each terminal, and then terminate into one cable, but whats the best way of doing that?
Any other bright ideas would be appreciated.
