5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available - eviltoast

I’m looking for a 5 pin connector type that I can easily find chassis plugs for both male and female.

I’ve looked at DIN and mini xlr connectors, but have unsurprisingly been unable to find male chassis sockets.

The pins needs to support 12V 10A*

*realistically only expects about 6-7A flowing through 1 pin and one fourth of that through the 4 others.

    PCIE 8-pin connectors supports up to 150W (12V/12.5A), but they’re meant for internal use, not chassis.

    If you want to get 120W, chassis-mounted, your best bet is usb-c.

    10 amps is a crazy ask. Are you trying to power the entire device with this port? If so, consider common ports (what’s wrong with IEC C14?).
