Which is good? 8-pin at least (anode big bottle, anode driver, ccs, bias). There are many chinese aviation gold plated on ebay and aliexpress, but I do not trust them, rather i belive its not gold but Ti-Nitride. Anybody know proven quality connector?
Amphenol military connectors: costly, but good;
LEMO: more costly, but also good;
Soviet (USSR) silver plated military connectors: cheap and robust; -I usually use them-
If you want to use -really- high voltages:
GES high voltage connectors ( GES High Voltage | High Voltage Connectors | HV Connectors ).

I gather that the Soviet connectors are not manufactured anymore... Do you buy them as old stock or used stock from any online shop...? Would you be kind to share a link please...?
I bought them from military surplus stock for decades ago (army of my country used soviet technology before 30 years ago), but nowadays only ebay stores -mostly from former soviet republic- sells it.

Bulgin are good and readily available and can be used at higher voltages (check the ratings). Using two sets right now.
While XLR's aren't rated for HV, I've used them in the past as they are ubiquitous and inexpensive and easy to "hole-cut".
You can still get octal male and female panel mount, and cable connectors just like used in the ham radio transceivers of the 1960's -- you just have to look.

Thanks for the link... (I should have been more creative with the 'search' text. I guess... 🙂)

Looks like fit very nice, but specs are for 50V, I have 400V. What do you think?
