[GreenKeys] 120vdc connectors - opinions?

[Bob Rosenbloom]

I buy the Chinese version of the military connectors all the time. Work 
great on AC or DC, good for 150V and at least 10A depending on pin 
thickness.
Search Aliexpress.com for:   Aviation plug socket round connector P20

About $3 per mated pair, shipped.

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).
