Re: What is prefered connector for steppers to control box?

Why use connectors at all, you're just adding additional expense and
another potential failure point. I wired my steppers directly to the
terminal strips on my Gecko's in the control box. I've only had to
take them off once so far, which is pretty easy to do, so external
connectors wouldn't have bought me much so far, and I don't expect to
be removing them very often.

Actually the terminal strips on Gecko drives are actually connector
themselves, they pop off from a row of connector pins on the drive.

The wires are strain relieved and grommeted where needed as they enter
the box. I also use a soldering iron to "tin" any wire I'm using with
a terminal strip, it makes the connection more solid and reliable.
