[TenTec] Ten Tec Power Connectors

[Sain'T Tom]

Jim, K9YC,

I  appreciate your help.  There seem to be several possibilites of white 
connectors under the Molex and AMP brands offered from several vendors.  I 
am hoping that someone has proper manufacturer's or vendor's part number so 
I can order the correct ones.  It's difficult to identify the proper 
connectors from catalog pictures and descriptions.

Thanks again / 73
