I didn't use them but I know Joe (built a Vari-eze but now has a Cozy MK IV)
used a couple of 50 pin bullet plugs like that. I think he got them from
Digikey or Mouser but I'd have to ask him to make sure. He is also in charge
of flight operations for cablevision so he has some parts suppliers I had
never heard of. One that he told me about, and I used a couple of times was
terminaltown  http://www.terminaltown.com/  . In particular they carried a
butt splice that I loved using, but never found anywhere else. It is clear
and is sized for 20-24 awg wires. They are smaller and worked better on 20
or 22 ga wires than the red (18-22) and had more space than the yellow
(24-26).

 

Unfortunately, I don't think they carry anything like the circular
connectors you are talking about.

 

The only other place I checked for specialty connectors was AMP Electric on
Smithtown Avenue, but I think they stopped selling to the public not too
long after I finished my plane. They were a good source for resistors,
terminal strips, relays, etc., but I'm not aware of anything comparable to
them locally.

Hey Mr. Rob

thx. for sending over Kens info. i talked to him on monday and will stop by
and pick up crimpers in the near future.

Did you use any CPC connectors that use the same machined pins as d-subs in
your project?

Where did you buy them from?
