2.7.4.4 The weakest part of most connectors is the gate and loading against it should be avoided. Unintentional loading against the gate is usually caused by the movement of straps or other connecting components from their intended position while unloaded. Connectors with a captive eye, which holds the lanyard in place, can partially overcome this problem and are recommended, where appropriate. Alternatively, triangular or semi-circular shaped screwlink connectors or other specially designed connectors that have a high minor axis strength (i.e. across the gate) may be chosen.2.7.4.5The minimum recommended static strengths for connectors are given in Table 2.1.
