As always, well thought out and implemented. Pure jewelry.
Thanks for posting.

That "motorsport" connector looks similar to a Deutsch connector.

Neil, I don't understand your point or why you placed motorsport in quotes. The connector in the photograph is manufactured by Deutsch. It's one of their AS (autosport) Series products. Motorsport and autosport are interchangeable marketing terms with respect to describing a connector (i.e., they are minimally more compact and lighter than a mil-spec connector).

I use Deutsch connectors wherever possible. AS Series for critical connections, bulkhead connections or where I need a high pin count and the DT series for everything else.

The quotation marks were because it was quoting from your post. I was not aware of the Deutsch AS series connectors. I have only used their aerospace/MIL connectors in the past. In my opinion, Deutsch makes the best connector in the industry.

BTW, that wire marker color code is the same as for the old carbon composition resistors. Those markers are far superior to the stick-on wrap-around.
