Cable Connectors

[redbaron]

What do you guys recommend for outboard cable connections? I want tha cables to be removable at the controll box and motor/input.

I am using 6-wire unipolar stepper motors with limit and home switches.
Here are some options I am looking at:

- 6 Pin XLR
- DIN Connector
- DB9 Connector
- 6 pin plastic-type electronic connector

TIA

I'd take some connector that can be screwed to the other connector. Just take a look in some catalogue of an electronics parts supplier. I don't know any in the US but examples here in NL would be Farnell or Conrad.

Checkout www.digikey.com They have anything electronic you could ever want.

What about sockets for towing trailors? metal ones. Also I think I saw someone using audio sockets for that also.

Actually the trailer idea is a good one.

I found this site with relatively cheap connectors and hookup wire:
