Question for y'all: I want a single switch to turn my EFIS on and off. That means it will power on/off five devices. There isn't much current, less than 2 A total. What is the right way to construct this?Bring all of the "red wires" together a few inches from the switch, splice them to a single piece of wire, and put the FastOn connector on the single wire?
Use a little FastOn tab block like this? http://www.te.com/usa-en/product-41484.html
Something else?Thanks,

How about putting all 5 wires into the barrel of one faston made for a larger wire size like 14 or 12 AWG?  Use heat shrink for strain relief.

  Multiple wires into an 'oversize' terminal

  are perfectly acceptable. Probably won't need

  heat shrink if you bring the insulation grip

  down to support the bundle. See:
