soft cuddly phoenix, disaster queer :v_bi::v_poly:

@0xC01DC0FFEE@bytearray.eu first thought "they're calling that a phoenix contact because it's prone to randomly catching on fire aren't they"

petur πŸ”΅πŸ˜Ά

@0xC01DC0FFEE after seeing this picture I checked who posted it because I was expecting @NanoRaptor

Saustrup

@0xC01DC0FFEE Aaaaarrrrghhhhhh my eyes!! 🀣

@0xC01DC0FFEE usually kinda dig cursed connectors but i hate this with every fiber of my being

nepi

@0xC01DC0FFEE I was like "oh, haha, another nanoraptor-like connector photoshop job". Then I saw the mouser link....

@0xC01DC0FFEE
Nice find.
Other way around and it would be excellent for retrofitting external power feeds in a clean way to old equipment.

Trouble

@ftg @0xC01DC0FFEE my thoughts exactly! Those Phoenix contacts are rated for 8A, vs the ~1.25A for a DB9 (though you get 9 instead of 3). I almost retrofitted a usb phone battery pack because usb-A connectors are terrible with vibration (bicycle). Also one connector is better than 3! That said, now I'm wondering why I never made my own Phoenix adapters either with Sugru or 3d printing.

@me @0xC01DC0FFEE better indirectly physically painful I guess, rather than directly from having to touch that after installation.

@0xC01DC0FFEE oh that's actually quite neat πŸ˜…

SkaveRat πŸ€ :verified:

@0xC01DC0FFEE didn't know @NanoRaptor started producing actual cursed connectors now

King Calyo Delphi

@0xC01DC0FFEE I cackled a little bit too gleefully the moment I saw this 😈

gelatinous cube (rat)

@0xC01DC0FFEE this makes me unreasonably upset.

It even has a little dust cap for the screw terminals

@0xC01DC0FFEE This is wild and ...

Might actually solve a problem I have?

olav

@0xC01DC0FFEE half of Phoenix's connector options qualify as cursed.

@0xC01DC0FFEE Like, if it was screw terminals on the back but regular DSub on the front I'd get it, but why this? Why??? Dx

Webster Leone

@0xC01DC0FFEE The mating connector somehow looks badly photoshopped but I don't think it is. Truly cursed.

TSSaloic

@0xC01DC0FFEE Someone must alert Cathode Ray Dude on this development!

vxo

@0xC01DC0FFEE I have encountered these! They're cursed and annoying.

Kirby :agender_flag:​

@0xC01DC0FFEE seems well constructed to me. You can add a shield and screw it in safely! :blobcat_thumbsup:​

Simon Frankau

@0xC01DC0FFEE Could be worse, I suppose. When I saw that I first visually parsed it as screw terminals inside a D-sub shell, which... would be challenging, I guess?

Thanos the tank engine

@0xC01DC0FFEE@bytearray.eu looks cursed but ngl there are definitely worse ways to put mains power into an rf shielded enclosure
