Jon, Are you sure that you want to put your high current power contacts in the same cable as the signals?
If not, the connectors I'm using (intended for speakers) are cheap and seem pretty good for the high current stuff. I could dig up the make and model if you are interested. [I'll bet that you've thought about this and the answer is that you want a single connector.] :-) Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Elson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "EMC developers" <emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 12:36 PM Subject: [Emc-developers] suitable CNC connectors > Apologies in advance for an off-topic post, but I'm looking for > a good connector for a range of CNC control box systems. > > The AMP/Tyco CPC line is REALLY close, but....
