Go for the Schurter 4781, it will accept 12AWG wire without soldering. You can get them from Mouser Electronics for under $5 and alot cheaper if you buy in quanity. The equivalent Oyaide costs $45 and looks identical with the exception of the internal components (they are of better quality in the Oyaide) But are they worth 10X the price?
IEC Connector Suggestions
Hello Everyone,
I want to reterminate some power cables with new 15 amp IEC connectors. I am looking for suggestions for high quality brands and sources for these connectors. I did this same thing a number of years ago, and as I recall some connectors were easier to work with than others. The cables to be terminated are 12 and 14 gauge, so I would appreciate learning about connectors that can easily accomodate these wire gauges, as well as making a solid tight connection with my power amps. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Dennis
