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.

    Are you concerned about the voltage drop on the strip itself? A second connector feeding power to the opposite end might be wanted.

      I haven’t noticed any difference in brightness between the first and last LED. Since the power is sent via PWM controlled mosfets, splitting the power wouldn’t work all that well since it inevitably have to connect the box (with the connectors) with the PWM circuitry.
