Electricians lack a purpose-built connector for terminating medium-gauge motor leads (e.g., 6 AWG) in the field, forcing them to use makeshift methods like wire nuts that don't fit well.

Wire nuts are designed for smaller gauge wires and do not fit properly on 6 AWG or larger motor leads, making connections unreliable and difficult.
