removable controls mofule
Hi everyone. ... ooops can't spell module

SPAM is designing a removable electronics and control box this year. ...first time we've done it. The interface to the box would be speed controller/relay/solenoid output wiring to motors, compressor etc. and sensor signal input wiring.

We're looking for ideas for COTS connectors at the interface. Some CD scrounging has revealed AMP Universal MATE-N-LOK connectors for the 12V low power connectors (10 & 4 pins) and Molex Mini-Fit for the high power connector (8-pin).

Ribbon cable seems like a good choice for the signal.

I know there are teams out there who have tackled this in the past.

Any wisdom?

Thanks
Eric
