Us of electrical connectors with MTH accessories

SoxfanOGR Forum Member

I want to use male/female connectors for a couple of my MTH accessories that i am placing on access locations on my layout. I thought that if I used connectors, it would be easy for me to plug/unplug them. Do any of you know where I could find such a product and the product number? The MTH gas station has 5 clips (A-E) so the connector would need to accommodate multiple wires. On a related question, the clips on the accessory are pretty flimsy. Would it be preferable to solder the wires to the clip? Thanks for any and all help provided. Paul

This site has a lot of options for connectors. If you do some soldering (your own labor), the cost can be reduced. If not, this kind of product may work for any accessory...

This connector looks to have a male and female end on it...cutting it in the middle can give you both ends you need for a plug and socket pair. Lots cheaper and there are others...

Yikes! Go to eBay, there are tons of make/female cable sets for peanuts. If you have one or two, that's one thing, but if you plan on using a lot of them, I'd shop for a cheaper price.
