Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cables Connecting Stepper Motors toDriver Circuit

Randy,
I just uploaded a pic to my folder in this groups web *Files* area.

These are small, rugged metal shell microphone connectors used worldwide on all
ham radio gear big enough to use a standard mic. Also they come in several pin
configurations. The insulator is a hard plastic that takes heat well unlike the DIN
junk that melt at a touch with the best of techniques.
I use 1/4" id black vinyl tubing for the motor wire jacket (not shown).
The chassis hole is 5/8" dia mounting.
