[GreenKeys] 120vdc connectors - opinions?

[E.]

I’ve always been a fan of the Amphenol aerospace connectors, as seen here:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=MS3106A&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=Amphenol+connector

They are as pricey as heck, but they’re military-grade and you know they’ll hold.  I’ve only used them on the DC side, but I’m halfway sure they’ll work with AC also (need to look at the specs again - it’s been a while ;p ).  I’m planning on using them on my Model 19 box I’ll be rigging up here eventually - just waiting for a computer interface board to be built first, before I make the final plans on how it’ll all go together (and buy stuff).

Hope this helps a bit, maybe :) ~
