All-
Where can I get aviation quality connectors such as those in the picture? These came from the local hardware store and I want to make sure I'm using the best.
No listing on ACS. Must have them to enable me to easily service my belly strobe.
Not my best photography!
Thanks.

Hi Bill,
I'm not completely sure, but I don't think you can get mil. spec. connectors like that.
I like to use the automotive grade connectors with the softer plastic molded parts that aren't as interested in breaking as the hard plastic (cheap) ones. I also prefer the spade type connectors to the round ones like you show in your picture. The spade connectors have a flat bar on the male end and two rolled spring contactors on the female end. While these may not be mil. spec. they do a great job of making and holding a connection.

Paul-
It's a matter of being able to get the connector through the largest mounting hole of the light, if need be. That's why I can't use a spade connector.

I looked on B&C, Stein Air and Terminal Town and don’t see that specific “barrel style” connector. But if you are willing to use another style they have them:

The interlocking knife switch type would probably work for you and they will not separate under a tension load.

they are called knife splices

As you see, the last two links are the exact same product - the one sold by the aircraft outfit is double the price...
As previously stated on the list, silicone dielectric grease is advised for these connectors without noble plated contacting surfaces.

If you are going to use automotive type connectors, at least get marine grade. They are for the harsh marine conditions. And you can always apply some di-electric grease.

These connectors are available almost anywhere. Hone Depot, NAPA, AutoZone, ect. They are really not the best choice for aircraft use however (IMO). I get all of my aircraft connectors from BC Specialties or Waytec Wire.
