PaulWarb Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hello Maybe not quite the right approach but may I ask first if anyone is familar with using this product - if so I will add a question about wiring them. I look forward - hopefully - to hearing from someone. My question is not complex - just needs someone who understands how to wire this product. Thanks Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I use these as interconnects between by baseboards - work perfectly for signal level currents, wouldn't want to use them for power connections as the pins might not be man enough.

Graham108 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've just bought some but not used them yet - I assume you have the 'male' counterpart to connect to. Can't see why you'd need to ask how to wire them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward - hopefully - to hearing from someone. My question is not complex - just needs someone who understands how to wire this product. Thanks Paul That's a brilliant product - not seen those before. However I have a simpler solution - I buy a ready-made lead with a socket on one end and a plug on the other. I cut the lead in the middle then strip and connect the cut end of the cable to whatever on each of the two baseboards or baseboard and panel. You can do the same with a 25-way printer lead. Iain is correct to worry about power connections over these, but if you duplicate the connection using two or three of the cores, that's good enough for most purposes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted November 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2021 For Power connections across boards (or to controllers) I'd use multi-way XLR plugs and sockets. They are dirt cheap (just bought a 10 sockets and 5 plugs, all four way, for less than 20 quid), and designed for Roadies to use day in day out....

Graham108 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hijacking this thread slightly - is it safe to assume that e.g. the 4-pin on the male connector links to the 4-pin on the female - or is that too obvious. I'm trying to get an led to light but nothing. Before I do some serious investigation I though I'd ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
