6 way male spade connector

Post by grandfatherjim » Thu Oct 21, 2010 12:16 pm

Anyone know where I can get these in Canada or US?

Colin had one on the coil on his old bus which I quite admired, but I can't find one besides at that link in the UK. I just don't want to pay twelve pounds or something shipping a one dollar item.
Thanks,
Jim

I've never seen that here.

Here's an option, although a not as elegant as the 6-way connector: Three way connectors are pretty common, as are Y-splitters, with one female spade plug and two male spade plugs. So...one Y-connector on each spade of a 3-way connector makes six terminals. And there you have it.

OK if I go to the trouble of ordering a batch of these from the UK, how many people would be eenterested?
For a small batch, by the time I get them here, split them up and mail them out to individuals, they'll likely cost 4 or 5 bucks a piece.
Does anybody care but me?

My coil was actually equipped with three y splitters for a total of six "outputs".

Well that does seem like an easier thing to do. I'm leaning that way now; my enthusiasm has now subsided and the Spock side of the brain is taking over.
