Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm pretty sure I'll go the PC route for the remaining controllers I need to buy whenever the LOR late summer/early fall/early 2012 sale takes place.I've done some searching for posts re sources for the quick-connect lugs, as I'll likely make my own dongles and not pay for the LOR dongles. Not a lot of current info there, unfortunately.Looks like Mouser and Digi-key have them, but wondering if anyone can confirm a part number. If you've ever shopped from either, you know there are 75 different variations on the 150 different flavors of any part they offer...and frankly, not only am I lazy, would prefer to get what has been confirmed to work, knowing its a pretty common lug.

JBullard Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Its just a standard 1/4" female. Just be sure the "crimp" part will hold your size wire. ie: will accept 16 or 18 awg as compared to the ones for 20 or 22 awg Possibly you would not need the ones for 10 or 12 awg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks. Wasn't sure if anyone had a source for something other than 10 to a package, ala Lowes and HD, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
