So, upon Jim's advice, I ordered some off of the Posi-Lock website. My feeders are 18 AWG strand, and my buses will be 14 AWG strand. I ordered the blue ones (which say on the site they're good for 14 AWG), but when I got them, the insulation was too thick on the 14 gauge wire I already had. I had some 14 AWG solid copper with thinner insulation, but it looks like the tap likes stranded wire over solid (for the bus, anyway).
The package said 16-18 AWG, contrary to the website. I'm sure I'll be able to find some 14 AWG stranded that has thinner insulation (since I've got more wire to run than originally planned, I needed more anyway) , but if you guys are going to use these connectors, buy one set first before ordering the 60 you need to complete the layout, to make sure your wire will fit.
