It's suggested using a plug with greater (surface) area than the wire being connected to it senseless.
I am leaning towards using a soft silver solder (lead tin silver alloy) as silver is more conductive, 10 AWG wire and 6MM plugs for a 200 Amp system.
LOL, are
you suggesting that? Consider that stranded wire has a very large 'surface area'. 6mm bullet connectors are not rated for 160A use. If you are that concerned, just solder the wires together, you don't need connectors. You know, 8mm is only about the size of a pencil eraser. Is that too big? I think not. But of course, you can do whatever you want (silver solder, 10AWG wire, etc) if it makes you feel more comfortable. I'm just not sure if you are looking for advise, or just want to stir up some excrement. BTW, you're welcome.
