Minwah-

you mentioned the automotive ones... I remember those from my restoration days but I can not for the life of me find them on jcwhitney or similar places... did you have links to those?

perhaps a quantity order would make them reasonable.

Thanks,
Rock

They are called 'jamb tacs', here's an example:

As you can see, pretty prices but also due to the mounting depth required they are probably unsuitable anyway.  Then again I suppose you could use a jamb tac in the cabinet, and just make some contacts for the underside of the control panel, using screws or whatever.

They might be ok if your dealing only with usb (5 connections only) but I have about 50 in my cabinet right now... That would cost more then just buying encoders for each control panel.

I could get away with 30....I might have a search around and see how much it would cost versus the contacts I currently have.  The plus of the jamb tacs is that you wouldn't need both male & female, assuming you could make something for the springloaded contacts to butt up against.
