Ponddude Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Was looking over the sale page and was just wondering why type of connectors are used for the quick connects. Seems like something I may need another end for (to plug into the board) and wanted to get going early.Dan and co., do you have a picture of the boards or even a picture of the connector?

rstately Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm thinking 1/4" male blade connectors, like on the DIORLY 8-Channel Relay.But not sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I agree in part. More than likely it is the same connector that is found on the CTB16-PC (the board without the screw terminals). So you are going to want the FEMALE 1/4" quick connects like you find on appliances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Fischer Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If you're not building a bazillion boards, the price at Lowes or Home Depot actually isn't bad, if you by per 100... This is especially true if you're not ordering other stuff from Mouser/whereever and have to pay s&h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLBecause at 16 channels times 2 leads per channel times 30 boards equals 960 receptacles...and that doesn't even include the ones for the power cords and/or jumpers.

huskernut Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 glad I hung around, when I was thinking quick disconnect I was thinking like a speaker hook up, hold down a button, stick wire in and let go of button. Think I will just order the current model to get it here in time to use in my landscaping project. and alass I am not lucky enough for tryforfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
