Single Quick Disconnect for 6 wires
markronz:
Hey guys, I have 6 wires that I need to be able to quickly disconnect. I found things like this at radio shack. These would be fine if there were just one wire, but there's 6. I'd rather not have to use six of those, and have to manually unplug all six. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to use to quickly disconnect 6 wires? I thought of using a molex connector, but I don't have any experience with how to wire those types of pins. Does anyone know of any other alternatives that might be easy to use? The gauge wire is 22.
Thanks!

I'm using a lot of these lately:

EDIT: They just crimp on the same as the spade terminals. Then you shove the terminal in the block. It's barbed, so it goes in and doesn't back out.

PM coming your way...

You could solder (or otherwise connect) the six wires together and add a little pigtail to crimp the quick disconnect?
Edit: Sorry, I immediately assumed you were disconnecting the same signal (like a ground wire). If that's not the case, of course, this won't work. Ethernet Cat5 is 24 gauge, so a cheap solution might be to use 3 of the 4 pairs of wires and a common jack?
Just trying to make up for my poor assumption earlier. 8-)
