Or borrow it, but don't cheap it trying to use pliers or solder. The one that Cookie suggests looks good. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

I could think of DigiKey, couldn't remember Mouser....good call in North America.
To original poster....round plug in or "strip connect"? Amphenol does a ton of connections, way up to "Mil spec"....but expensive. Lower cost is Amphenol, Phoenix, etc...... Knowing your "style type" helps. Frankly, real cheap plug in (Sermos/Anderson) can handle major power, good crimps (maybe dielectric grease, soft silver solder, "tweak", etc.) can handle data type connections. More info from you, better answers from us....have a great day... |

You might parallel a couple of pins for the power nodes or use a separate anderson clump. They come in cheap, fancy, solder, crimp, different locking styles, and backshells as you wish. |

The DB line of connectors is what came first to my mind also. You might need 2/3 pins each for power and ground.
I have used stacked PowerPole connectors in a DG pedestal type instrument panel to allow it to be removed for winter play. They dovetail together so nicely and stay connected. Even the smallest pin (three sizes are available) can handle 15 amps! John (OHM) |

Even the smallest pin (three sizes are available) can handle 15 amps! John (OHM) Colin, I use DB connectors for all data connections in my cockpit and XLR connectors for power. Since I don't like wire tangles and much prefer to have all wiring removable from the panel so, if needed I can troubleshoot by connecting instruments that need to communicate with each other on the bench, both the data and power connection each instrument is a straight cable woth appropriate connectors at each end. These all terminate on at a small metal box (for RF interference limiting) that is mounted behind the panel. I've found that putting the DB connectors on a row on the box and using a good selection of coloured, insulated wire makes doing the interconnections super-easy and reliable. All my DB connectors use either screws or clips to retain them: screws are best, but some instruments use clips. Needless to say all have metal covers fitted. XLR connectors were developed for professional audio use. They have three pins and are rather substantial. Our club uses them for battery connections in all our club gliders. Both DB and XLR connectors are easy to find RS and Farnell both have them and so do Rapid Electronics https://www.rapidonline.com - Rapid is good for dealing with small orders over the 'net. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |
