I am building a sprinkler controller, and I realized that the Dupont/PCB/breadboard female connectors I use for my microController are the perfect size for my doorbell wire (20ga). I have been using screw terminals for the sprinkler wires on my previous versions of my controller, but have had my eye out for something smaller and spring-loaded. Unfortunately, 18ga is just too big to fit in the connectors.
Does anyone know if there are cheap connectors that would accept 18ga? Larger wires would be a bonus. The closest I've found are the connectors on the back of speakers, but they are too pricy. Looking for around $.01-.05 per pin connected.
