Default Advice on a power supply umbilical needed.

"Andy Evans is Totally Brain Dead "


I'm using an Amphenol AP connector because it's rated 660v.



** Fraid the maker says the connector is only *safe* for 50 volts.

It says:

"Not suitable for domestic applications above 50V".

This is because it is possible to touch the female contacts with a bit of
wire or something, which is the sort of thing an unsupervised child might
do. If there is no possibility of the uncoupled connector being accessed
when powered is applied, then this restriction does not apply.
