Female Quick Disconnects
« on: July 24, 2006, 03:47:55 am »
I've been looking for a source for female quick disconnects for a while now (.187, 22-18 AWG), and have been unable to find anything.

I was just wondering, from those more experienced than me in the cabinet making world, are female quick disconnects absolutely needed when wiring switches, or is soldering a viable option?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to where a good place to purchase those disconnects are, I'd really appreciate it. So far, the cheapest I've found is $18.50 USD (After shipping to Manitoba, Canada) for 125 of them (I need at least 106). I hear Peale used to sell them cheap, but looks like he's been out of stock for a while.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :)

I know for a fact that Divemaster on the boards here sells them, as I've bought some from him, but I doubt you'll get them a whole lot cheaper than the $18.50 you found with him having to ship them to Canada.

If you are happy with your layout and dont plan on changining it much, solder works nicely. That's what I'm doing. It helps though that I have a really good soldering station and would much rather solder all the collections then create all the damn crimps.
