John,
I used the Amp connectors under the assumption that by the time
a fire got that far back and high in the engine compartment you’d have
lots more to worry about than some defective electrical circuits. I have no
hard data to support this; just an opinion.

..... Apparently some people are opting for the more expensive connectors
listed in "Firewall Forward", even on non-pressurized planes, because
they are more fire resistant than the Amp connectors. ......
I've heard this from several sources but without any
specifics. I tried to find info on temp rating or some quantitative data
but have not found any nor seen any. How about the rest of you? Did
you use the Amp connectors in your firewall of opt for something else???
Inquiring minds want to know....
Thanks
