i have been looking for military-style electrical 'cannon plug' connectors. they are basically a circular electrical connector with as little as 2-pin and as much as 100-pin. the only retailer i have found wants too much money for them.


i would be paying over $200 for the connectors and plates and that is for a few 5-pin connectors.

has anyone seen these around? inexpensive? must be military-style

Hmmmm can't see a front on view....but I'm guessing this is something like your looking for?:

I think it times out, if it does go to the site and enter in 1308848 as the order code.

HTH,

not quite.

on the military ones the outer ring actually locks onto the connector plate

Look at an electronic components site and go through Connectors->Multipole etc It helps if you rank them with the highest first as they're expensive so they'll stand out.
