| ARGH CONNECTOR NIGHTMARE! 240VAC >12A, PCB mount, bulkhead RA ?? |

Ok, can anyone help me find such a mythical beast :scared: I really need a direct to PCB connector, that can carry single phase 240VAC, at up to 15A, and be in a right angled bulkhead type configuration, ideally positive locking and finger safe too! Not too much to ask is it?? :-DD Something like a Powercon would be perfect, but with pcb tails? I'm trying to avoid having to do any point to point wiring inside a power distribution device, that has a pcb with various SSRs/relays on it, and needs to spit out power on command to various (around 10) outputs. The alternative is to use fastons or threaded tags to a short length of wire to each connector, but i'd REALLY like to avoid having to do that.... |

If the powercon is perfect why not add 3mm bolts or standoffs to your pc and solder the contraconnector which is a simple cheap connector to the pcb? I have seen this done before with big current car relais. |

I'm trying to simplify the build process. The pcb sits inside an enclosure that assembles into a larger unit, and i need connectors to allow that part to be easily removed / swapped, but i want to minimise the amount of (hand fabricated for this proddy volume (<50 units)) point to point wiring that is required, hence anything that can go straight to pcb should do that, and not go via a link harness or similar. The incoming power will have to go via a small loom, because it goes via an isolator switch and MCB device, and it will likely arrive onto the pcb through some of those solder-on threaded little metal tabs eg: But with 8 power feeds coming off the pcb, it will be better to try to get direct to pcb connectors! |

CLIFFCON FCR6929? (knockoff speakons) DIN41612? C19/C20 (IEC60320) - spades normally? C13/C14 - defo PCB rightangle, might do 15A at a stretch Wurth REDCUBE? |

TOBY are good guys for low cost connectors in the UK. https://www.toby.co.uk/pcb-hardware/spade-screw-terminals/ |
