4.1.7 Recommended Wire Gauge

For VIN to J3 (between 8-V and 20-V input), the recommended wire size is 1× AWG #14 per input connection, with the total length of wire less than four feet (2-feet input, 2-feet return). For J4 and J5 to LOAD, the minimum recommended wire size is 2× AWG #14, with the total length of wire less than four feet (2-feet output, 2-feet return).
