Bulkhead connectors?
 

I'm looking for an 8 way bulkhead connector, you know the ones that have a plug on either side of a panel for easy disconection

Is there a special name for them 'cos I can't find one!

Cheers

Chris :)

Chris, if memory serves CAT use a lot of them. Try to find the nearest cat agents.

Also available from pheonix contact, their stuff is just horribly horribly expensive.

Its one of those things that different people call different things.
But I would possibly call it a 'cable pass through' or even as you said, a bulkhead connector

Hello Chris,

have a look at Farnell :
http://uk.farnell.com/bulgin/px0769-...50?Ntt=978-050

Or even better, ask for their catalogue (3500 pages !!)
You can order even 1 single item, sensibly priced, and (in Belgium) delivered next day withhout cost. Amazing. Have used them a lot for our automatic Lap timing system (www.chronostiming.be)

Thanks chaps - some good leads there, I didn't think they'd be so dificult to get!

Cheers

Chris :)
