rather than soldering to the tab (which seems to be the thinnest, lightest duty

thread and screw the jacks to the brass strip. Basically making a power bus
bar from the brass. The bar will handle the amperage with ease and running
two of them in parallel won’t create enough capacitance to bother.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

bullet connectors. Neu has high quality connectors and they’re rated to 80 or
100 amps. You could rough up the female connector and epoxy or CA it into your
panel. You might have to get a little creative to color-code them. Some sort of
red and black plastic or nylon donuts that could be glued in place. One thing’s
for sure, you wouldn’t have any amperage issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
