#1 remote hv power supply

Post by ed »

I'm looking for suggestions for plugs and wire to connect an off-board power supply...500v ish and 300ma ish. I've been using GX16 avaiation plugs for low voltage stuff but they're not up to this kind of voltage.

I've never done a remote ps for valves before so I'm looking for some pointers.

I've used the Amphenol ones and find them to be excellent quality and with a very firm and positive connection.

I use the Lumburg ones in the Ref Phono.

I use Mate-N-Lok. Available from Mouser, RS, Rapid, eBay, Vehicle Wiring Products, do a Google search. 600V and several Amps - can't remember exactly what - but means I can use them for heater supplies as well. 1-way to 15-way, male & female. Female (I think) can be pressed into a rectangular hole in a panel. Great thing is you can have HT and heaters all in one multi-way connector, plus a fail safe loop, i.e. unplug it and some relay circuit or power controller kills/prevents the HT coming out on the connector.

Ideally you will need a crimping tool for the terminals, I use the same one I use for the automotive type 6mm blade connectors, works OK.
