Re: maxtrac power connector question
Just be carefull with the RV/Auto connectors.
If they come in a pair one of them will have the wire colors reversed.
Orginal cables are avaiable from Motorola and can also be found on E-Pay

Cause Motorola said so that's why

They may have had a name at one time, but these days they are just called flat molded two pole connectors.

Re: maxtrac power connector question
Yep. The exposed pole on the radio is positive, so on the wire the enclosed pole will be positive!Will wrote:And "trailer connector".videonerd wrote:I've also seen them called "quick-disconnect"

Re: maxtrac power connector question
Go to your local auto parts store or boat store. They all carry them. Should also have them in Walmart in the auto electrical section.

And if you prefer or need the ones with 12 ga. conductors vice the ones more commonly available with 14 or 16 ga conductors, try www.partsexpress.com in Ohio.
