Hi,
I'm at the point in my project that I need to pass some power through the fiberglass roof of my Jeep and into my RTT. I need a low amperage 12V circuit in the tent (for charging the RTT light, phone charging, etc.) and I need to pass the wiring for my Propex thermostat through (which has six connectors).
Some searching has turned this connector up. Six connectors for the Propex thermostat, two for 12V power, and four more connectors for future projects lead me to ordering two twelve-pin sets (one for the roof of the Jeep, and one for the bottom of the RTT).
I really like that the amperage rating is 10A for each pin, and that when I get around to hot-wiring the fan in my Propex to run all the time between heating cycles, I will have some room to play around (extra pins) and will also have extra pins for whatever comes up later. It's also good that the kit includes a cap for the non-90º half of the jack to seal it if the RTT is removed.
Does anyone think this is a dumb idea? I have already drilled 16 one-inch holes through the fiberglass roof for the rack mounting system and plan to drill a couple more 60mm+ holes for air ducts.
