Review on Versatile 32-Piece Hilitchi Aviation Wire Connector Plug Assortment Kit for Panel Metal, 6-10 Pin, 16mm Thread: Male Female Compatibility by Lisa Highter

The reviewer who gave this 1 star really pissed me off. I'm a professional designer of panels and systems. I work with different quality parts every day and it's frankly ridiculous to compare them to professional Indy Car connectors. Let's be honest here. Will I use them where lives are at stake, or tens of thousands of dollars in the event of a failure, or where they are regularly switched on and off, or where they are exposed to extreme environmental conditions such as: B. under the hood? an Indycar - no, I wouldn't. However, the high quality connector mentioned by the reviewer, which gave it 1 star, cost my company $13 for panel mount and $8.75 for the connectors when purchased in quantities of 50 or more. That means a pair is worth over $22 on average. What the hell was he expecting when a box of 16 pairs sells for $20? I needed an assortment with different pin counts to create a PLC test box that I could use with settings from 5 different PLC vendors. Having an almost identical test block for each setup would be very expensive, but by making my own and using these connectors I can test over 25 different sensors on 5 different PLC types with one test block. I bought a mixed box of 2-5 needles and a mixed box of 6-10 needles totaling $40. If I were to use the high quality connectors that I can get at work at cost, these connectors alone would cost me over $350. These connectors on my test block probably don't get connected or disconnected more than once a week, and the sensor elements might not even be screwed together during testing, so I don't care if it was difficult and I personally find it very easy. fit together and the quality is pretty good for the use I need. Overall, I find the price-performance ratio very good and well suited for simple test applications. See photos. For those of you who don't want them to rotate during assembly, instead of a 16mm round hole you can use a "double D" with a 15.4mm major diameter and 14.6mm -Use edges. If you don't understand the last comment, just cut 16mm round holes for them!
