I don't know about the connectors from radio shack because I haven't looked at them. But the ones that look like mind that I have found at Home Depot are rated for 600 volts. The project box I got from Radio shack.

I will say some people at radio shack can be helpful. Others have no clue what they are talking about. I know I went there to get things to put together my STC-1000 thermostat and one of the people working there kept asking me all kinds of questions. This was the finish product of that project.

i just ordered one of these stc 1000s
how do you like yours?
