You need 3/8ths to one half inch of wire to work. the ones sold here appear to be even shorter.</p></p>

With only one row of pins, The connector would rock slightly each time that the release arm was pressed. Over many cycles, the thin metal pins would fatigue and break. That is my guess anyway.</p>

The 3-wire version does, but these (6-wire) do not, they load from above and the geometry of the pins relative to the entire outline is shifted.</p>

Just be careful. I snapped some of the pins that hold the end cap off by prying to hard. <a href="http://yzf600.dns2go.com/blog/?p=72" rel="nofollow">Here is a pic</a> of the final parts soldered on my board.</p>

I was able to gently pry the layers apart using an xacto blade. This comes in handy if you need less/more connectors. (I needed a cluster of eight)</p>

There is a discrepancy between the description and the datasheet regarding ratings, though. My application will encouter surges in excess of 2A, so I will err on the side of caution. If there is documentation to support the 6A rating, then this is my connector of choice!</p>
