Thoughts on using a terminal like this?

That Phoenix connector is too bulky to fit there, moreover, the pitch is incorrect as positive and negative terminal are side by side and narrow. I highly suggest you use crimp terminals either spades or Molex quick connect as designed. Screw terminals are really not ideal for the best connection. Get a crimper tool and use Faston female spade connectors with male Faston tabs. That’s how many amps are wired anyways.
While on the topic of PCB mount high current connectors, any thoughts on the ones Keystone makes? They are a brass plate with PCB pins, and a screw up top. I think some of the PCBs on diyaudiostore use them. Are they good, or would you avoid them too?That Phoenix connector is too bulky to fit there, moreover, the pitch is incorrect as positive and negative terminal are side by side and narrow.

I know it's OT, but I thought I'll risk it... Sorry.
I wasn't actually thinking of them in the context of this PCB. I was thinking generally, for future projects.Those can work but note the tight clearance of the positive and negative. The screw might short out both sides.
......please finish the pending projects.
