These are designed for currents up to 14 Amperes and wires up to 14 AWG
Andersen Powerpole PP45 http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2874.htm
This is what we use for currents up to 45 Amperes and wires larger than 14 AWG.
Note: Talon SRX and Victor SP require this type for a good connection.
There are three common soldering scenarios:
Making a connection between two wires, see: splicing wires
Attaching a leaded (through-hole) part to a printed circuit board, see: through hole soldering
Attaching a surface-mount part to a printed circuit board, see: SMT assembly
