PCB connectors

[gretzteam]

Hi!
I'm finishing my amplifier and I'm missing good pc-mount connectors for the power supply, line out and line in...I can only find awesome spade terminal, without the pc-mount connector in which I would plug it.
Does anywone has a good source for this?
Ideally, they would be vertical so that they don't add length to my boards (that already hardly fit in the box!).

Thanks a lot

Couldn't you just solder the wires directly to the PCB? If you want to make the boards removable just put those spade terminals you mentioned inline between your PS and PCB.

What ?? Can't find ??

here's a myriad of them out there......
AMP MTA 156 (.156 pin pitch) is good for 5 A, for more double the pins
Molex KK series 5-7 A per pin
AMP Mate-N-Lock 15 A+ pr. pin
JST type L an LL ditto......
and so on....all for PCB mounting.

High quality screw connect bars are also useful....

No crimp 0.100" 3M Female Connectors

having got tired of the painful and laborious hand crimping of 0.100" molex connectors, I stumbled on these do-dad's in the most recent Allied Electronics catalog -- just push the solid wire in the slot and voila:

AMP makes a nice ratchet crimper for all those type of pins......the one I have has interchangable dies I can crimp up to 10 GA and as small as 26 guage.

When I'm lazy I use these

Digikey makes up these flat cables with AMP female connectors, solder tail or whatever you like:

I found some killer power supply connectors for my amplifier project.
Molex Mini-fit Sr. connectors.

50 ampere per contact, comes
in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 contact header and
receptable I think.

I gonna "double up", two contacts
per rail and ground.. overkill.....
