Use AMP CPC's. Allied Radio has a good selection. The -2's use machined pins - same size as the ones for D-Subs. I used several and we have not had any problems. Get gold plated pins and a good crimper. -1's use a different pin and crimper, but you will need them for any wire larger than a 20 AWG. Get a good supply of pins up front because you'll need extras and ordering another dozen is not very efficient. Make sure on the -1's that you get several sizes to accommodate 18, 16, 14 and 12 wire. You can download a good catalog from the AMP website. I don't have their URL.

I am going to redo my right hand side instrument panel to accomodate some new equipment.
I would like to build the panel on the bench and hook it up in the a/c using connectors. The right hand side of my panel houses all the switches, circuit breakers and engine gauges. This will make the panel easily removeable if needs be.
Does anyone have any comments on the idea of using connectors? Does it pose any questions of reliability or potential failure?
If anyone has done it, what connectors did they use and where did they get them?
