Probably my panel mounts for Anderson PowerPole connectors. I use them just about everywhere that I need a 12V DC power outlet.
I want to make this but rectangular. Are the connectors held in place solely by sticking something through the hole in the side?
The connectors are held in place with a roll pin that goes through the hole. They fit tightly in the panel mount. The pin just keeps them from pushing back out.
Oh good, I can handle that. Powerpoles have those little grooves where you can slide two of them together but they're so small I'd never get them right. I'm glad to hear I don't need to design for them.
