Default Multipin Connector for Servos and Lighting System

I have a full lighting system in my Global Jet Club L39. There are 6 cores going out to each tip tank which were supplied with 3 separate 2 pin connectors.

I would like to use one connector for the lights, flap and aileron servo to make field rigging quicker and simpler. Assuming I don't common any connections for some redundancy that's 12 cores. Can anyone recommend a suitable plug and socket system? At a pinch I could use 2 x 6 way connectors.

Hi Malcolm, use the 12-way Ashlok connectors http://ashtekelectronics.com/shop/

When ordering you need to order all 4 components - male and female housings, and male and female pins

I would strongly recommend their excellent ratchet crimping tool as well, it is much better than the plain pliers type sold in model shops

Thanks guys,

That was the route I was planning but not sure I have enough room for the length of the 12 way connector and was hoping to find 2 x 6 rows. Guess I could still use 2 x 6 way Ashloks.

You can always put one above the other giving 12 pins in a 6 pin width
