[Amps] [BULK] - DIN stands for....?

[Bert Almemo]

Bill,

Now you're comparing apples and oranges!!  Aircraft/military equipment vs.
hamradio?? Are you serious? We are talking about consumer electronics where
most of the ham equipment belong.

Do you think hams would pay for commercial grade Cannon connectors that
might cost a $100 or more each?? I don't think we're on the same page Bill.
:-)

Have a great evening!

73 Bert, SM7BUR

There are plenty of good connector around, there just aren't any cheap ones.

The circular connector made by Cannon is pretty much standard in commercial
aircraft and military equipment where reliability is a must, but they are
expensive, for good reason.

There is a small fortune out there waiting for someone who can develop a new
connector that is inexpensive, reilable, easy to assemble, easy to repair,
easy to mount on either panel or cable and idiot proof. Who wants to be the
next Bill Gates?
