Looking for a good source for panel mount connectors to spec for mounting in the box to connect to the outside world. Also the mating plug as well. Have seen some nice designs, but am not aware of which ones. Signal and power style.
If you have used some nice connectors, and like them, can you post what you used? Any you strongly recommend?
Not sure if this helps at all, but here’s what I’ve used.
SP2110 7pin (blue cap) for signal wires.
SP13 4pin (black cap) for WAS wires.
SUPERSEAL 1.5 Series(Not panel connectors), 2 and 4pins for power and valve wires.
JST XH2.54 on PCB for signal wires.
KF301 on PCB for power wires.
This is a connector that matches the one from Raven. It can be used to connect to existing NH3 cable. I already have a Raven NH3 system on my cultivator. This connector will allow me to use the Raven cables. I guess this is more for the rate controller PCB.
I have been using Deutsch connectors. They are easy to work with and easy to re-pin for configuration changes. They are also used by the trimble stuff and a number of our other equipment so I already stock some. Downside is you would need a terminal crimper if you don’t already have one.
I’m not overly proud of my connectors but I can provide 3D printer files gcode for building your own endcaps. I have a Sparkfun Beefcake relay under the yellow endcap. I use the relay to power my steering motor which is a slightly modified AgLeader OnTrac2 unit - which is 12V and works great.
