sixwheeledbeast Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Solid cored cable can snap/fatigue over time. Terminals are more than big enough for all the powered devices you'd need on the Texecom stuff, in fact I would say they are better than most other panels for that. I have no idea why zones are linked out with a 1/2W resistor, best to be programmed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ebay search for that tends to bring up the simple screw choc blocks but paging down also showed 4/8/12 Position Barrier Block Terminal Strip Connector with 1 UK seller on ebay but plenty sellers in Hong Kong & China. Not quite the same as the PCB versions but similar and without the pins. This ebay item 312723313871 even comes with a strip of linked spade terminals to convert the barrier connector into a bus. I now recall using one of these barrier connectors some years back to update the antiquated wiring on an old Connoisseur BD2 turntable which I then fed via a pre-amp to a new digital hi-fi - old technology married to new!

I did programme out the unused zones but I was still getting warming messages (can't remember where) so it was a easily job to add the extra resistors especially as I had bought a pack of 25.
