I’m looking for a 5 pin connector type that I can easily find chassis plugs for both male and female.
I’ve looked at DIN and mini xlr connectors, but have unsurprisingly been unable to find male chassis sockets.
The pins needs to support 12V 10A*
*realistically only expects about 6-7A flowing through 1 pin and one fourth of that through the 4 others.
You could try these: https://www.amazon.com/PIN-PANEL-MOUNT-MICROPHONE-CONNECTOR/dp/B00H57AJEI/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?sr=8-6
https://www.amazon.com/5-PIN-CB-MICROPHONE-PLUG/dp/B00H573MO2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?sr=8-1
Both of these match up nicely and are rather beefy though they don’t actually say the current rating.
There’s also these that are rated for 300V 15A https://www.amazon.com/5-08mm-Terminal-Connector-Pluggable-Connector-Phoenix/dp/B0CM3Y1WS5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?sr=8-1
I use something like this when repairing screw terminals that my students have applied too much torque to and broken the through hole pins on. It’s a great type of connector. But if we’re talking portability, then it’s maybe not the most ergonomic.
