splash proof socket - not for marine use

[tim_ber]

Anyone know a 6 pin plug and socket cheaper than this:

to be used on a garden shredder.

I bought these, but they had no metal contacts in them and they are too small anyway:

Thanks in advance

No, assuming you need something robust and weatherproof........but intrigued to know why you want a 6-pole for a garden shredder?

Well it is an industrial shredder :- my mistake in calling it a garden shredder in OP (takes 6 inch bits of wood) and it is being modified. Don't know a lot more than that. I was just asked to find the parts for them.

Cheers.

What about a trailer light-board plug/socket? I think these are typically 7 pin. Something like: http://www.towsure.com/category/Towing_Plugs_Sockets

The one you linked to is only 5amp capacity - not a lot for a shredder - especially an "industrial" unit

dunno if this is total amps, or per pin.

About halfway down:-

unlikely to get cheaper than the Bulgin ones.
What are the 6 pins needed for?
If some are supply and some are control, maybe a separate connector for the control?
You can get 5 way intended for 3-phase plus N & E.

Lots of useful links there thank you.

I understand the connectors are just for the controls of the shredder, the power from the petrol engine generator thingy is all wired up already.
cheers
