Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Where did you get the connectors? What gauge wire will you use with them? I went with Molex on last years boards, but had to use so many of them since our Radio Shack didn't carry a lot of the hig pin numbers. I may have to order some online so I can narrow it down to just 2 per board.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connectors are not cheap but you could hammer nails with them if you needed to...they're that tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AII am using the solder versions and they are around $55 per connector so it is costing me $110 per board. Kinda overboard but like I said, I dont like the cold and anything to make my setup go faster is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIYea, I forget what it is but the salesman was telling me that the mono piece has some sort of water proof certification. The split shell is water resistent.

AII have the connectors mounted on the outside of my boxes with long pigtails going to the boards terminals. If I would have to move a channel I would just move the corresponding wires to the new board. At the very worst I would have to splice additional wire or desolder the pins and resolder new wire.I will post photos once I have one completed.
