Bill:

I have been using the Siemens HNF361.  I was using a Square D distribution
block to combine strings, when necessary.  After a while, it seemed like
over-kill.  I am now putting the two string leads from the roof under a
wire nut with a pig tail.  Does this seem OK to you?  The connectors are
rated for 600V (does not specify AC or DC).  Connector is rated for 3 #10
stranded copper wires.
