Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] RFC - Standard Thru-Hull Electrical Connector
Jon - I don't expect that a home builder would build a custom connector
just to mirror something that is available off-the-shelf. More likely,
a custom design would be to fulfill specific requirements of the
designer that are not met by the commercial product, implying that it
probably would not be compatible. Cost could be an issue, but it seems
unlikely for a one-off connector. Also, how many members are
considering this? Is there enough quantity for a group buy?

Yes, you are correct this will be the first hardware standard we adopt
and I agree with your premise that it should be a quality connector
that *could* pass certification muster. The standard is also marked
as voluntary which allows for home-built units if someone wants to go
that route. Of course, for compatibility with the standard, the
home-built unit would have to be built to physically mate with the
commercial unit. This means we not only need to standardize the
pin-out, but also the geometrical layout of those pins and the
dimensional properties of the connector for those who want to build
their own.
