Can anyone offer some advice on how to connect the leads for my 8 or 9
Honeywell rockers to a single periheliondesign dimmer?
The switches all have Fast-on terminals which I can easily connect
to. But I'm a bit stumped on the best way to have 8 or 9 separate
leads connected together and finally connected to a dimmer.
I've been through most/all of Bob's stuff but just can't find the
right approach.
Thanks

The simplest way is to run all the leads to a convenient location
(toward the dimmer would make sense) and add one more wire to the
bundle. Use a large splice crimp to join them all, then run the 'extra'
wire to the dimmer. You can modify this idea slightly by doing it in 2
or 3 stages with just a few wires in each splice, then sum the 'extras'
with one more to the dimmer.
Bob details a similar technique to get power into multiple pins of a
d-sub connector when more current is needed than one pin can carry.
