| Where can I buy heavy-duty copper spade terminals? |

| duckduck:
Where do I find heavy duty (1mm+ thick) copper spade terminals for larger wire (say 6 or 8 AWG)? I can find ring terminals all day, but large spade terminals are not made? I can't believe it. EDIT: I'm looking for crimp-style connectors, not "audiophile screw-tight" style. |

Spade terminals suck above around 15-20A because they have such little contact area. They just grab the spade at the two edges and have relatively high resistance. |

Fair enough. I'm looking to move 25-35 A at 12-14 V. Maybe I need to modify the devices I'm connecting. Thanks. |
