I'm getting an ODO (Monit Q-20) set up right now, but it's going to be regularly swapped between different cars (4Runner for volunteering, TSD layout, etc, as well as the stage car), so I want to set it up so stuff can be plugged/unplugged easily.
Ideally, I'm looking for two two-wire plugs, one for power and one for the remote switch. Two different types might be nice, but if they're M/F type plugs I can just use the Male for Power and Female for footswitch (so the wrong things don't get plugged together). Only other requirement is at least a semi-positive lock - unplugging the odo over a bump sounds less than optimal. These will be in the car, so they don't really need to be too tightly sealed.
I'm already using powerpoles for my radio gear, so that was my first thought - but the wires for the Monit are tiny - 20g or less - so I don't really feel like bulking those up just to go into the PP connectors.
What connectors should I be looking for?
