Are you familiar with Anderson Powerpole Connectors?  If not, you might want to check them out.  I might have seen them mentioned before on this list but if you haven’t read about them . . .

There are some good Youtubes on them, too.



Sorry I did not answer your question!

 Guys

  

 Since it seems there is, right now in this List, the season of terminals discussions, I have a couple of questions about the Mate-n-Lok multiple terminals like this

  

 <image001.jpg>

  

 Which one is the male and which one is the female?

 In which are the male pins and the female pins supposed to be installed?

  

 Last question: can I use one of these for AWG #12 wires (Pitot Heat), or are they not suited for such a high current (10 to 12A)?

  

 Thanks

 Carlos

They are basically Unisex-- you can put the contacts in either  housing. I 

think it is best to put the  females in the part that has the  exposed 

tubing and the males in the other part.



 

One thing that I have done when using multiple similar sized housing is to  

take one of the contact sets and reverse it so that in that housing (and 

it's  mate) it cannot be confused with any others. In my setup I have 2 15 pin 

 mate-n-locks in the same area. This arrangement precludes error. Being 

somewhat  paranoid, I not only crimp the connectors on the wire (using the 

appropriate  crimper) but I solder each and use heat-shrink tubing on each
