[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 23945, member: 445"] Re: multi pin connectors I've built several multi-pin systems and the Amphenol were the easiest to make, just not as strong as the Elco/Edac. Going with the Whirlwind Mass Connectors were just too far out of my price range. As stated earlier there is an artform to doing this. My one recommendation would be to over count your pins if you are making your own. Elco makes a few different sizes and it's easier to get everything in there if there's extra room. Also if you're going to put quick connects on both ends of a snake so it gives you a trunk with a fan out and stage box- it might be helpful to wire the snake so it can get pulled either direction- no male and female so if it gets pulled backwards it won't matter. I built my first Elco connector for my doghouse and it's been in service for almost 5 years with no issues. [/QUOTE]
