Are there any sources for A.P.I. Connectors of the type that were once utilized by Strong in their early model xenon lamps? I recently sent out a blower motor from an old X60 for service . The original A.P.I. connector was reattached, but I can't find a female A.P.I. socket connector to mate it up with again.
Were these specialty connectors only manufactured by American Pamcor, Inc. or were they standard connectors that happened to be manufactured by American Pamcor as well as other companies?
Evidently, the connectors are detachable, so I would settle for a used female socket if I could find one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Don Brown

How about modifying the leads with MOLEX male/female connectors? MOLEX has houses and pinsets that are designed for 120vac operation that can use 18g wire.

You can look at AMP connectors as well ..

good luck - Monte
