Box of Cct. Breaker, Blade etc Connectors

[carlyai]

Hard to get a shop that sells 220V power connectors where I live.

I have to order them off Lazada et all, but usually only enough for an electrical job.

I would like to order a box of different connectors: blade, spade etc. but not if someone hasn't done it first as some of the connectors from China are thin on metal.

Anyone recommend a Lazada etc store that sells a good box of different connectors?

You are more likely to get quality connectors on AliExpress, however only buy on price if you are going for high price first. The qualities available are varied with cheap nasty stuff available as well as quality items a prices to match.

If you are looking for quality connectors then there are excellent waterproof automotive connectors with crimping tools that will probably survive a hurricane, I have a selection of 2, 3, 4, & 6 way ones that will get used sometime

What do you call those connectors and what do you use them for?

Never seen/used them before.

They are used comprehensively in the automotive trade, they, of course, can be used anywhere they are Deutsch DT series and claim to be waterproof 

 

if You search AliExpress using the image I posted you will find many suppliers the are available in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 versions and at least 2 different pin sizes.

The standard Thai way of joining mains cables together is a good twist and some black tape.

Tried to buy 2.5mm three core mains cable for an extension. Cannot find, even online.

Global House only sold it in 30 metre coils. Only need 10.

I like Choakchai Electronic on Lazada, they seem to have good stuff.

If you do not see what you want, ask them in the chat, they will sometimes send a link.

Smaller Mum & Pop electrical/pump stores may have some.

One near us has different lengths of off-cuts.
