High grade connectors

[Sandy]

This is an old email I saved, may be useful for connectors -


>>> FROM OLD EMAIL <<<<

Having done motorsports electrics for years in both early Ford and later
GM programs, I can highly reccommend Packard SXL wire, a 125 deg C cross
linked version, MUCH better than anything other than Raychem which costs
over 10 x as much. The wire plus other Packard products such as Packard
brand Weatherpack crimping pliers, weather pack connector, metripack, and
older 56 series straight blade connectors are available from a packard
disb in MN called:
			Waytek Inc
			PO Box 690
			Chanhassen, MN 55317-0690
			800-328-2724
			612-949-0765

Prices you will love. Examples:
			3 cond, tower weatherpack	$0.37  sorry Steve
			3 cond, shroud   "		$0.24

			18 ga SXL wire,125C		about $35/ 1000ft
			(this is like prod wire)

	You can take this wire and hold a Bic lighter to it
	for 15 sec, and just wipe off soot-wire  is fine
			WP 18 ga terminals		$6.00/100

A number of years ago, when I was buying in high volume, I called
Packard direct at 800-722-5273

Waytek also carries heat shrink, terminals, etc.
Heat shrink is good. Terminals are cheap and ok for production. For
racing, I used T&B, they are the best but 4-5 times as expensive.

Hope above helped.

Save that waytek # and ask for a catalog. You won't be sorry and your
pocketbook will be happy.
