Re: Connector suggestions needed

["Tracey Gardner" <tracey.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Simon

I suggest that you take a look at the Phoenix range of connectors, they use
screw connectors and they do a plug and socket type.
They're nice and compact and available from most of the large electronic
houses, such as Farnell, but they're not cheap :-(

You can usually find some on Ebay as well.

Regards

Tracey
