eBay's cheapest wire connectors

These push button wire connectors are about as simple as it is possible to get.  Just three parts - the housing, metal contact and locking plate.


The downside is that they do not use a copper busbar and rely entirely on a springy steel contact against the copper wire.

The problem is when they heat up, the plastic will get soft which means even less pressure on the wire-tang, which results in even worse connection, etc.

I would think these should be OK for low amperage bread board work, but I'd be reluctant to use them for anything else.

I bought a small pack of those a while ago. Found that the wires do fall out quite easily. And at least one got so mealty even way under 10A that the adjacent connections got very close to blending.
