Chassis mounted stepper connectors

[bertvk]

I'd like to make my stepper controller box as clean as possible and need some chassis mounted connectors to hook up my stepper motors.
The motors are 2.2A and will be driven by 45V, so a simple subD connector is out of a question.
What is generally used for this?

Checkout Switchcraft EN3 series connectors at;

They are Weathertight and good for 6.5Amps per contact with #20 contact pins/socket.

bertvk,
Actully most subD pins are good for 2 amps. You can parallel two for the ratings you want. If it's four wires, a 9 pin would do. If it's 6 wires a 15 would do.

Thanks guys,
I can get subD connectors pretty easily, so I'll go for those. A 15 pin connector will allow me to add the home switch to the connector, keeping everything nice and tidy.
