Zack,
Thanks for the great summary. I think you pretty much said it all.
I received several private responses to the effect that we were trying
to 'force' some standard on everyone. I replied to each that this was
not the case, but only a discussion of the merits of each type.
Hopefully nobody thought we trying to gore their " Sacred Ox".
You seemed to be generally in favor of the molex, and I was obviously
extolling the virtues, while not failing to mention the drawbacks, of the
Anderson Power Poles.
Many other versions were mentioned, and each has it's own
advantages,and drawbacks. I still have 15 to 20 connectors using the
3-pin Molex configuration, but they are slowly being phased out.
Thanks again-the group buy may still happen, but the 1000 piece price
break is only one penny per contact, and we need 1000 of each (red and
black), so that plateau may not be attainable.
Also I got my new Allied Electronics catalog, and the local Anderson
distributor can still beat their price-just barely.
