Not to hijack this thread, but question is related. I'd like to go, as much as possible, with MIL-SPEC round (Amphenol) connectors once I start wiring things up. But, they are so expensive, even used. Has anyone found an affordable source for these? I know, you get what you pay for but wow. I used to work in an avionics engineering company where we used these connectors exclusively and I have grown to trust them, but I never had to fork over my own money for them

For power connections, I'm using Deutsch DT and DTM connectors. These are great since they are environmentally sealed, and I plan to use these, too, in the wing roots and other areas more exposed to the environment. I got mine at https://www.deutschconnector.com
Another vote for DTs. Amphenol AT connectors are interchangable. Tried them when I built the wiring for the EIs and really liked them.

That link only shows pins for 14-18 gage wire only.
Are pins available for 20 g and 22 g wire, or do you have to 'fake it out' when you crimp?
