this is the tab connector we use on our controllers, Pro-120 and Pro-150. These are now specially made for us in India and we can supply them in quantity. Click on the picture for the drawing (pdf file).

Price is reduced for quantity: e,g 10 for £2.00, 100 for £18.00. For large quantities the price can be dropped very significantly. Please enquire.
If you prefer, we offer a range of Pre-crimped power leads. But, if you prefer to make your own leads, we can supply crimp connector. Be warned that a proper power crimp does require a proper crimp tool - this is especially true of the F-type crimps. We strongly suggest you purchase pre-assembled leads, but for those that must make their own leads, with care it is possible to crimp the F-type (pushon) crimps with a pair of pliers and then solder them. However - such a connection is never as reliable as a properly made crimp and we do not guarantee the results: we have seen Pro-120, Sco-120 and Sco-180 boards burned to destruction from badly made crimps. We advise against such practises!
The uninsulated ring connectors can usually be crimped satisfactorily with a hammer and a suitable anvil!
The picture illustrates the various types of crimp available. All are sold in packs of ten crimps.
Pushon (F-type - because of the F shaped dual crimp, for connection and cable support) crimp packs, FCB-600 and FCB-900, include ten boots.

| XLR line socket, 3 pin | XLS-003 | Add | |
| XLR chassis plug, 3 pin | XLP-003 | Add |
These XLR connectors are surplus stock so are available at a very good price. We also offer a bulk discount for 10 off or more on the chassis plug.
An economic, robust, 3 pin connector for 'knock down' serviceability - very useful with any throttle. When installed with boots and 3 core cable, the joint can be sealed with PVC tape to make the assembly highly water resistant.
Pins and sockets are crimp type (similar to a small F-type crimp), so we normally supply pre-crimped but will supply separately (if you have a suitable tool).
Pins fit in the long part (male shell), sockets fit the female shell. Can be supplied pre-crimped to plunger pot or bell throttle assembly.

RFK IDC connectors
We like these connectors so much - we use them on all our products. The connector are 'insulation displacement' type - simply poke the wires into the wire grip, and squeeze closed in a vice or with parallel jaw pliers. No need to strip the insulation - this is displaced as the teeth of the connector bite through to contact the conductor. We have used these for many years: they are extremely reliable and require no special tooling. Unless someone has simply used the wrong wire size, no problems! The first diagram shows the 4 way connector, open. Beside it is a 3 way with the wire grip removed to show the connector teeth, which are in two rows, so making 4 separate connections through the insulation.
The IDCs must be used with the correct wire gauge. Acceptable wire sizes for the standard connectors are:
The second picture shows the three common ones we use on our controllers. Also available are the mating PCB parts, vertical mounting, as shown for the 6 way, right.
These are offered as spares and replacements. However - we can quote for quantities of any connector of this range from 2 way to 14 way (and more).

RFK - Crimp connectors
The IDC (above) must use the correct gauge of stranded wire ( 7/0.2mm²) but there is a crimp version. The drawing shows the crimp contact and the 3 way shell. The crimp will take a wider range of wires that the IDC. However - the crimp version is actually an earlier design than the IDC and the dimensions were changed during the re-design so, although the contacts mate properly, the retaining latch does not engage. We can supply these crimped to wire, on, for instance, the plunger pot and the twist-grip throttle.
