Supply lead dimensions

[KevinCornish]

Hi

I am designing a power hub and am looking at some nice 12v connectors,

They have different collar sizes can any one measure the power cable width for a typical dew heater? And what are typical widths for ccd camera supply cables? The options for collar widths are 3.2mm 3.7mm 4.2mm

Many thanks

What do you mean by widths?? The physical size of the 12V cable that connects to the Dew heater strap????

OHi Merlin no the gauge of the supply cable that goes to the controller

I am going to fit my own 12 v plugs to connect to a power supply and wanted to get an estimate of the width of the supply cable so I can order the correct collar size ie 3mm, 4mm , 5mm

I haven't got a dew heater yet so am not sure

Dew heaters don't usualy come with a power supply, you have to supply your own, 12v battery or mains fed.

Any cable capable of carrying about 3A at 12 volts would do.
