[TenTec] Maintaining the high current Molex connectors

[Sain'T Tom]

The Mouser numbers your looking for are:
571-14807030 (I think this is the chassis mount side)
571-14807020 (this is the end that's on the power cord)
The inserts for these plugs are male and female depending on the 
configuration:
571-3505471 (male insert)
571-3505501 (female inserts)

These are NOT Molex.
