Re: multi-pin connectors

My apologies... it appears I did not give enough information.

We have two Jaguars on our electronics board. Down under the manipulator area we have two CIM motors that are to driving the wheels. I wanted to run these 4 motors into 4-pin connectors on either end, and plug them together in the middle. So, the 2x red and black wires from the motors would go into, say, a 4-pin male connector. And then the 2x red and black wires from the two Jaguars would go into a 4-pin female connector. Then we'd be able to quickly connect/disconnect them when we want to remove the electronics board.
