[time-nuts] Power connectors continued

[Mark Spencer]

There seem to be many variations in colloquial naming in different regions and industries.   Part of the reason I prefer to deal with local vendors with a parts counter is to be able to more or less confirm that connectors match / mate properly prior to purchasing them.  

All the best.

The first connector is a circular MIL-STD connector (don't remember the correct notation), and this is a product available from ITT Cannon as well as AMP.
