<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone ever found a "Ernst style" charge jack
receptacle that works with a female connector? This is the widget that
normally gets used with a male connector, and so far I can't find one that looks
like it will accepts the female connector housing properly. You
can fit one into the charge receptacle, but it won't snap in place
properly. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a customer interested in using a shorting
plug approach vs. a normal On/Off switch for the Tech-Aero regulator, and I want
to try to find a clean way to mount a female connector, since I don't want there
to be any possibility of accidentally inserting a "bind" style plug shorting out
the battery via the battery charging jack. Battery charging connectors are
male, so the On/Off shorting plug jack has to be female if a standard connector
is used. Alternatively, I could use a different connector style such as a
mini Deans, but there's still the problem of obtaining a standard, available
mounting for the side of the model.</FONT></DIV>
