I love Marlin P Jones, dont get me wrong, but as tantalizing as their prices are on these cable sets, don't fall for it.
If you have built test circuits with these and are wondering why it doesn't work, or have melted the ends on a load array, then you're not alone.
Basically, they are made from 3,000 gauge stranded wire but the worst part is that said nanoconductors aren't even soldered to the clip!
"Well, then they must be attached with a screw then right?" you ask... Wrong!
No, pull back the boot and you'll see the angel hair is wrapped, maybe half around the end of the clip.
So, if any of you have bought these, pull back that boot and take a looksee.
I actually discovered this some time ago at my previous job but managed to block it from memory until I was visiting their site today. Basically, I cut new wires and soldered them to the clips and the magic commenced.
