Quick Connectors

[Guest wigman_99]

The new dash is in and looking good. I want to wire it so it's pretty much plug and play, and I only have to remove one connector in order to get it out. I guess I'm looking for a plastic, snap togetherey kind of thing that joins probably up to 10 separate wires in one easy click.

 

Does anybody have clue what I'm talking about, what such a device is called and where I could find them.

 

Or perhaps have I just come up with a Dragons Den winner?

 

Thank you! Ed

I know what you're on about and you can get them online from rs components. A 12 way plug looks like this:

They're not the smallest things so if space is at a premium they might not be suitable but otherwise at under a fiver each they don't look too bad and with 5amp rated contacts they should be up to the job.

 

Other option is a pair of mating connectors cut from and old wiring harness and soldered and heat shrunk in place.
