I want to join two top plates with an edge connector which is at least 12 way
and preferably 15 way. Purpose - exchanging tube circuits that plug into a
basic PSU + OPT base. The connections will be up to 4 heaters for up to two DH
or IDH output tubes (say 1.6amp each for 6550), heaters for input tubes, anode
and screens, bias volts DC, B+, earth and possibly input signal + and -. Max
width is about 128mm or about 5 inch. Top plates are 6 inch wide.
The best idea I have so far is 12 way pluggable terminal strips - like the
electrical screw-fit types but with a plug and socket on each connector. These
come in 10amp 116mm wide and 6 amp 94mm wide. The 10 amp is tempting but common
sense says leave some spare terminals and go for the narrower 6amp ones. Rating
is 450v. All in all looks pretty handy for swapping circuit projects.
Anything else I should consider before going ahead? Here's the ref.
