We've got an auto fuse clip (a pair of tin/nickle spade type receptacles joined with a nylon bridge piece) giving us fits. The pins on this thing have a right angle profile (symmetrical "L" shape) and make great flux traps. No amount of tweaking pre

Thanks for the response guys! The parts are being sent to a local lab as we speak. I'll let you know the results when I get them. I am not sure the purpose of the copper band, but the black around the band is just shadowing from how I took the pi
