Members Keyrick Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hello, I'm thinking about putting ELCO/EDAC connectors on one of my snakes. I can find the connectors, pins, and crimper on line but I can't seem to find any kind of standard that others use for the pinout. Not that it really maters as I can come up with one of my own, but does anybody know of a source for a typical pinout configuration for a 20 channel snake? Thanks in advance.

Members agedhorse Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Note that ELCO-EDAC connectors are pretty fragile. I have had good luck with them for years but always make sure one of our guys handles the connectors. We also use unloaded pin blocks as protectors.
