Firewall electrical bulkhead
« on: August 09, 2016, 10:59:19 AM »
I'm working on wiring up the MS3pro in the FC and instead of just using grommets and shoving the harness through the firewall I want to use bulkheads for a cleaner install. This is the only one that I can find:

Summit, Jegs and everyone else look to sell the same thing just at different prices. Anyone have experience with these? I would need at least 2.

waytek wire has a decent selection of circular connectors:

If you want to get deep, browse mouser.com \ connectors \ automotive connectors \
You'll be reading a lot of datasheets though because places like mouser don't hold your hand and tell you which terminals, seals, strain relief, etc to buy.

Amphenol makes nice military spec circular connectors.

Thanks for the heads up Lane.

Deutsch stuff is nice and a lot cheaper than the autosport connectors.  alot of the commercial trucks use a similar bulkhead
