WTB - 20/32 amp Screw Connectors

[gava]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone might have some spare or know a good place for some 20/32amp screw connectors. I'll pay cash money!
I was looking at some clipsals bit pricey ( I know they all are) just trying to make my budget go longer for my build.

Cheers

Do they have to be 3 phase? HPM do a 32amp plug & socket similar to domestic 10amp. Although it's still around $80 total for the 2 pieces..

Nar, single phase... they'll be driving 4800watt elements though.
EDIT: If anyone has another idea, I just need to be able to quick disconnect so I can take the pots off and clean if I need to.. I do have quick disconnect tri-clover elements fittings but don't really want to remove them, rather a quick disconnect power cable.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to hardwire to control panel until I can afford it.

Looks like that's the going rate for the plugs, Guess I'll just have to put it in the 2nd stage of the brewery build.

cheers

You will need at least 4mm cable with tgat sort of power.

Have a look at sparky direct.

They look nice and cheap IP44 which is probably all I need also.. may have to settle for a set of them pending budget..

Could you get away with a 3-pin 25A plug and socket like these?

I'm looking at making up a little distribution board with 2 x 25A supplies (overkill, I know, but like the option of having 2 x 4.8-6kW elements if I decide to upgrade my system for bigger batches) for the brew dungeon when we move into our next place and was looking at these, paired with a DPDT switch for each supply.

Mine will be mounted behind the pots and I like the idea of them at least being splash proof..

If you can chassis mount the sockets these Powercon Connectors are great (and compact too)

Chassis Sockets

Plugs


The sockets are not screw terminal but either solder or decent quality spade connectors will do the trick

Edit: I updated the link for the plug to the correct type.

I hadn't seen those PowerCon connectors before and may end up being used in my build.

This is absolutely as cheap as you're going to get (in Australia) -

4800 watts / 240 volts = 20 amps. These should be fine

Cheers

They're only rated to 15A so only good for 3.6kW.

Definitely a nice weatherproof option though.

They're great looking... might have to get a couple just to have a look at them.
