Hi, very basic and probably stupid question but on a lighting circuit with a b6 6 amp circuit breaker, if the loop is in the switch is it okay to join the neutrals with just a 5 amp terminal block? Or should the connector block be 6amp or higher? I know in real life the load on a lighting circuit will very rarely reach the max current of the breaker (6 amps) especially now with led, but still i would like to know if using 5 amp connector on a 6 amp breaker is correct/acceptable?
Thanks
