Why can I not find any good solderless connectors anymore. I used Philmore brand for years and loved them but it seams they no longer make them. What's a good source guys?

Larry WoodfinRegan, Grainer has the 3M Highland brand, which is a good-quality product. Also,
https://www.waytekwire.com/ has products of the same quality.
NOTE: These are non-insulated terminals, which I like. Depending on the situation, I use them bare, without insulation, or with heat shrink tubing. I do not use or like the parts store terminals with plastic sleeves.

TheBlueTruckThanks for the reply guys. I also don't like insulated connectors with the exception of quick connects and females for relays and such.

CURTIS REEDI thought you were asking about brand. We only use Thomas&Betts to make our products.

Larry, I run the production shop for a company called W L Walker. We make anything to test, sample or measure oil. The connectors are used in our centrifuges, preheaters and such. This is one of our 12v centrifuges to use on trucks for oil sample testing. I designed and built the first one of these sheet metal versions in 1990.

Where is the "LIKE" button?
