What connectors should I use for the Honeywell AML34 rocker switches? The

common 1/4" Fast Ons are too loose. Thanks.

Well, they shouldn't be.  The problem may be in the connectors you're
	


using.  Get some from an automotive supply place and compare the

thickness of the metal.  Should be obvious.



You can crimp the 'curl' of the faston .... just be gentle, adn don't

overdo it ..... they're a b...h to push on of they're too tight!!!

Wayne,



 You want the AMP PIDG Faston with a 0.205" tab width. Aircraft Spruce #640917-1 for 22-18AWG. See page 470 for other wire gauges.

Assuming you have the right width, I encountered the same problem with 

some Faston's from McMasters.  I have been able to give them a gentle 

squeeze with pliers to tighten them up.  As other's mentioned, it's easy 

to over-tighten too.
