    small in-line connector

    Number of mate/demate cycles would be 1-10, connectors would be tucked away, skilled workers. It sounds like turning my search to "quick connect terminals" and similar would be my best bet. Thanks!

    small in-line connector

    I'm a mechanical engineer but I've been tasked to find a connector to join the ends of two 28g wires in modular fashion--i.e. they need to come apart and go back together, so soldering/crimping/etc. are out. I'm envisioning something like a tiny (around 0.125" diameter) banana plug, but after...

The band would sit in a shallow groove on the exterior of a part to basically hold two halves of a cylinder together. The outer circumference is about 11 inches and I'd like the band's cross...
