Got an XLR connector put in my panel that I run my GPS off (28V
electrics).

Hey -- where you been? We were just talking about you (behind your
monitor, of course... .

What the heck is an "XLR connector"?

Hi Jay (et al)...sorry I've been a bit busy! Work and all that, no time.
Also been nice flying weather
here this summer! :-)

An XLR connector is normally used for professional audio, microphones and
things. They will handle
enough current for aircraft accessories. The advantages are low cost and
easy availability, and as
per your requirements, they lock. Usual is 3 pins (I only use 2 of them) but
you can get more if
you so desire.
