Thanks for the info Luka. They did look the same as the Amphenol. IMHO the DSUB 9 pin might be best connector. Put it down the base of the case. Looking at the DB9 drawing and G106 drawing, there should be just enough room (edit...maybe not the G106 will need serious machining). Probably more if we use the Jaycar case. (Edit: might be better on the case lid at bottom. This way we could use a female to plug in a small power/gender box to hold a small PCB for USB/Power plugs)

The way the PCB is laid out should allow room for this as well even enough to put the connector on the case rear down the bottom.

Some desiccant plugs: here; here; here; here;

Gary is asking how many camera cases we want. Send him an email.

edit:
oh it would be easier if the D sub was male pins with solder cups...just easier to solder wires into. Some of the D subs have long pins coming out the rear which may interfere with the PCB, or we can cut them down, but soldering to a pin is more problematic than a cup.
