Title: What size wire and disconnects?
Post by: ElKootcho on May 02, 2007, 03:51:08 pm

Hopefully my parts from divemaster will arrive soon and I can get busy building my first cab. I'll be using an Ipac2 and Magstick Plus along with the usual assortment of buttons.

What size wire and disconnects do I need to buy to wire this all together?

I'd recommend 20-22 awg stranded wire and .187 female quick disconnects.

You might consider upping it to 18g for your power wires (5V/12V etc.).

This is EXACTLY how I do it - I use .110 female quick disconnects for smaller buttons like the happs minis though.
