Each side of the U fit into each side of the 2 hole barrel connector on the SI. Super slick iI thought. I can send you a pic if you want. jay peltz power On Feb 4, 2013, at 11:46 AM, Howie Michaelson wrote: > Hi it has been more than a year since I wired up a Sunny Island 5048 > system and I'm trying to determine lug size for the DC conductors.
