multi-plugs needed

Post by chewbacca »

Hi guys
I'm in the process of playing with an arduino to control the air bags on the bus.
To set the height, I have purchased a pair of these & think they will do the job.

Problem is, the multi-plugs on eBay cost a small fortune.
Any ideas where I could get them cheaper? I really don't want to solder wires straight on.

Thanks

Thanks for the link.

Couldn't see everything on the website, but I've sent an email. You never know.
Fingers crossed.

cpc are the cheapest by far for junior power timer connectors which I use - I am sure that they will have whatever you are looking for ( you haven't given much of a clue!)

Another connector that is excellent for use in areas that are prone to stones hitting them are "sure seal" connectors. They have a rubbery body and are waterproof can be bought from Farnell. They are used in the cheaper end of Motorsport for suspension sensors etc.

Thanks for the help guys.

Found a part number, didn't think I'd manage that.

Google Search hasn't found it cheaper anywhere than eBay.
