MIL-Spec Connectors ??
tilly819 - 30/8/11 at 06:59 PM

hi all

i am looking somewhere to buy some mil-spec or similar round multi pin connectors.
I found a website a few months back by chance but haven't had any luck re-finding it but they had a selection of connectors and you could even get pre crimped 1meter wire tails, the prices were reasonable too....

i have had a look on all the main manufacturers web sites amphenol etc and tryed RS / farnell but they are very expensive and i now from this other site they can be got cheaper.

any help would be great
thanks
tilly

There are some on trigger wheels. Not very high quality but I have tried a 20way one for the through bulkhead engine loom connection and seems to have worked very well. They're solder joints so you have to take your time with it.

Infact they're the ones people in hong kong are charging 84squids for!!

They are not cheap, you thinking of the Deutsch and Souriau connectors?

A much cheaper alternative used by automotive oem's are Tyco Superseal weather proof connectors.
