I expect that the ampacity of a Faston is equal to that of the
largest wire size that will fit into the barrel of the Faston.

Hi Group Thanks for reply. FWIW I did a quick test with a #12 wire and 1/4" Faston drawing 20 amps. I installed and wiggled it back and forth a bit (made connection looser) and after a few minutes connection was getting a little warm. I compressed with pliers and tried it at 30 amps and no significant warming. Tension is critical to achieve best results. Ron P.
