But actually though, connectors are the worst! Originally I was thinking about using the ALWAYS-ON outlet for power input, but the cable necessary is called a "suicide cable" so I had to pivot. Now I am using a panel mount power entry connector, and I'm going back to using a single ring terminal for connecting the HOT wire to the PCB. From there a screw terminal will provide power to the ALWAYS-ON outlet, and the 4 CONTROLLABLE outlets, with the other side of that wire a crimped on ring terminal also. Hopefully this will make the building process easier in the end!
