    Quoted from barakandl:

    I disagree somewhat. Trifurcon is only needed on high current pins. I never use trifurcon on signal connectors, just power connectors. Excessive insertion/removal force on large 20pin plugs could be an issue.
    A system 3-7 mpu and driver has so much connector redundancy, you never see burned pins on them. Single wipe is OK on those boards. GI connectors on the other hand... trifurcon.
    Rule of thumb i use for the bally rectifier board. Trifurcon on all the fatter wires with the exception being trifurcon all orange wires. Someone will tell me this is wrong, but that is fine =D.

    I, for one, basically agree with you. The other draw back ( in my experience) to using Trifurcon pins everywhere is they can be a real Bitch to get out of the housing should you ever need to do so.

    IDC style connectors are probably the worst thing that ever hit pinball technology.
