Hi amgalbu - I;m laughing at myself. I had used the CPC connector and mounted like you did, and see the pins are installed on the energized side. It must be more of a old convention than a rule. Good luck with the remaining build.

Hi amgalbu - I really like how the D-1000 connectors are bulkhead mounted to the chassis.

I didnt use the D-1000 connectors that way because that connector side had pins, and a general convention [ maybe only in my imagination ] , pins usually are used on the de energized side of the circuit, and sockets used on the energized side to prevent shorts on bent pins and a little more dummy proof to the users if they pop off connectors.

Your mounting is creative and functional, conventions are made to be broken, :-)

I was wondering if the E14 community used that convention about connector pins being on de energized side & sockets on the energized side, which maybe my memory is antiquated or invented.

Are you going to do any switch debouncing?
