New Electrical connections for LooVille
« on: April 03, 2018, 07:30:57 AM »
Good Morning All,

OK, so we went away for the long weekend and I took some stuff with to keep me busy for when the wife and kid is sleeping  :biggrin:
Serviced a few trains but I also managed to make all the new electronic connections to my layout.

I currently use the normal Molex connections, they work 100% but if you buy them from Brights or Yebo Electronics they charge you a fortune.
And to drive all the way to Mantech or Communica just for that, Mmmmmmmm.....

So I decided to buy better nicer ones from Wish.com  :biggrin:
Bought 50 pairs for $6, what a bargain !!!!!

Picture 1 is my current connections, rest is the new ones.
Made some 1m fly leads, connectors for the transformers and some splitters, awesome  :thumb:

Cheers,
Evert

Looking good!

Bring a pair along tonight and I'll "evaluate" them... :bueller:
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Those look like automotive connectors.

I thought the Molex connectors are also auto connectors - I saw them the first time under the hood of my cars. ???
