Topic: Source for female microdot connectors?

[madman]

Does anyone know where I can source female microdot connectors?  I want to build a smaller battery box than my MPS.  Googles turn up results for microdot connectors, but there's never any pictures of the connectors so I want to make sure I'm ordering what I need.  Thanks.

DPA sells the female panel mount connectors for the low price of $23 each   They are part #DJJ0031.

Core Sound sells female to female barrel connectors for $10/ea.

There may be some other sources.  Try contacted one of the DPA vendors, like Cascade.

Thanks for the info.  I love my 4061s, but DPA is a ripoff.  I still can't believe the price for their battery box.  They have to cost them less than $5 to make.  I'll keep searching.

The problem is that Tyco (manufacturer of the Microdot) makes so many different sizes of Microdots, you may have a heck of a time trying to find the correct size.  The next problem is that most companies that sell the microdots would require a minimum order, thus forcing you to spend quite a bit more than you want.  It's really a no win situation.  I've spent hours trying to find an alternate source of microdots, with no luck.

If you do find some that work, please let me know.
