Quick disconnect resistance concern Hey guys, just wandered about something. I'm in the middle of installing my LC-1 for my HP. I purchased a small project box to put the Calibration switch, LED, 5amp fuse holder and to serv as a hub for the wiring connections. My ? is, I am making a quick disconnect from the LC-1 harness to the project box. I am using some Radio Shack Interlocking terminals for this duty. The contact resistance shows .0025 ohm and it shows a voltage drop of 2.5mv at 1A. I dont see this posing any real problem but I just wanted to get you opinions here. Thank you!
