Can anyone help?
I bought some Tortoise point motors recently. I want to make it easy to change them in the event of something going wrong with one.
The suggested method of connecting is to solder wires to each of the 8 'terminals', but I want to make the connection by plug (or should that be socket). The literature suggests that I buy a 'standard' PCB 10 point edge connector. The Tortoise connection seems to be the old style something like that used for putting 'cards' into some of the older (386, etc) PC's so is quite large by today's standards.
I've tried looking on the Maplins web site and am even more confused than when I started (easily done at my age!) by the profusion of different devices. Anyone know where I can get these from?
I do have a 'backup' method which is to solder the wires to a 9 way D plug and then connect to a 9 way socket but that is twice the amount of work compared to soldering just once to an edge connector.
As always thanks in advance
