Does anyone have a favorite high-current PCB connector?
 
I'd like to get 20 wires into a pluggable connector, to go on a module
like this:

We need at least 7 amps per contact.
 
That litle green Phoenix connector is cool. Wires screw into it
without tooling, and it's easy to mate and unmate. But it's only 5
pins.
 
I was planning to use four of them, with two on a baby board, but that
idea wasn't popular.

Phoenix  do make 20 pin version (as two rows of ten) with 10 amp per pin on
200 mil pitch.

I've got the Phoenix people working on it.

We need a mate that has screws to clamp the wires (not those push
spring  things) and extraction cams. Even the 5 pin version is about
impossible to unmate without the cams.

What's weird about the Phoenix and Weidmuller connectors is that they
have no pin numbering convention or markings. You just make up
whatever you want, and have to explain it to the customers.
