Heatbed connector

Hello!!

I need some spare heatbed connectors, i know that i can find them here in the prusa shop but i dont want to pay shipping for one
connector so i found these on ebay instead

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-5-08mm-Right-Angle-2-Pin-Screw-Terminal-Block-Pluggable-Plug-Connector-/182233045192?epid=870527761&hash=item2a6def98c8:g:bWsAAOSw3xJXpZdt

But not sure they can stand the current being delivered to the heatbed, they have the following rating, Rated voltage:300V (250V)
Rated current:15A (10A) and further down in the specs they also write Rated Current: 5Amp so im a little confused!

what do you guys think?

Hi Peter! I was also looking for these on ultimachines page but they want $12.83 for shipping, so if these Chinese parts are not good enough i probably have to wait and buy these in the Prusa shop when i need some more parts..

Re: Heatbed connector

There's 2 things you could do:

1. Solder the cables to the underside of the board (best option)
2. These are apparently molex, so if you can find the part number, you may find them elsewhere: http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?channel=products&chanName=family&key=eurostyle_terminal_blocks

Hi

bed when changing PEI, i will do some more research and try to find them here in sweden.
