cable connector wire question

[panfilero]

Hello,

I've been having a hard time locating this and was wondering if anyone
knew where I might find one....

I need a connector that can accept 72 30AWG wires. Most connectors
that I have been finding don't take wires that are this small, and the
ones that do can't handle 72 of them.... does anyone know of any place
that makes connectors that can do this? I wanted circular but am
willing to take whatever, d-sub or whatever.... some kind of circular
one would be preferred

much thanks
J.

Remarkable. Not cheap I'll fancy. Bet you'll need a fancy crimp tool for
that size as well.

In my organ, I use two 37 pin sub-D connectors for a total of 74 connection
on each rank. They are cheap and readily available and can handle several
amps per connection. I use the solder cup versions, not crimp, gold plated.
Most wires are 24 gauge some are 26 and some are 30 gauge. Being soldered
they will accept any wire size to 22 gauge. These connectors are available
in all sorts of configurations, chassis mount, cable mount, locking, right
angle, etc. etc.

Invaluable little beasts aren't they ? I've used them for all sorts and some
types can even be found in IDC style.
