I've thought about Jones plugs, 11-pin octals, even DB15s. Any other suggestions? Desirable traits include availability, low cost, ease of making the chassis cutout, suitable voltage and current rating, etc. Ten or more conductors are preferable.
I was really leaning toward Jones plugs, but they appear to be a vanishing breed--or at least it seems the versions with more than a handful of contacts are getting hard to source. 11-pin octals are attractive because of the round cutout--easy to make with a chassis punch--but the availability isn't much better than Jones.
I'm not up on the latest 'n greatest in connectors, so I thought I'd pose the question to the Lab. Perhaps one of you knows of a connector that I haven't even considered.
