connectors for NEMA17 motors

[Roger HartParticipant @rogerhart88496]

Planning building a telescope drive – 2 Nema17 motors off hand held home brew stepper drive box.  Power source 12 volt (Lidl) battery so not a big shock hazard.

What connectors would be reasonably robust and not cost an arm&leg?  One 4 wire cable to each motor.

I generally use XLR connectors:

RS probably not cheapest source.

I used these when building my rotary table stepper. Cheap, positive screw down ring  & rubber plug for when disconnected.

[Roger HartParticipant @rogerhart88496]

THanks both for the steer.  Will ponder and check prices.

If you’re quick, Arc have some 4 way chassis sockets for £1.94 each.
