[IC] Colored Aviator Connectors

[mystlegend]

Edit: I’m deciding to close this down after learning that Summit’s making DIY kits. I’ll be partnering up with them on the kits, and its around the same price and they have a lot more experience than me, so I’d check them out soon when they do that!

I've been really trying to make DIY cables with a custom colored aviators for a while, but it's not really economical in a few pieces.

So these are GX16 5 pin (maybe 4 pin if wanted) connectors that're gonna be cerakoted at my local shop.

I'm aiming for $7-12 a piece at 25 MOQ, so it might be cheaper if we get more orders. I'm not sure though how it'll work out, but we'll see.

Id like to offer them in blue, black and maybe red. See the form for other colors as well. I'll get color samples once I see if this project is even worth putting more time into.

Most of the major cable makers don't offer them, and I've only seen them at pretty high prices. If people would be willing to get them for like $35 which is high in my opinion, it might be possible if I can find a source for Lemos.

I don’t know a whole lot about what is possible with cerakote, but I’ve been really wanting a chrome/metallic copper or rose gold finish. Something that looks like it’s been copper plated. I submitted an IC form for it. Hoping others want the same thing!

For $35 I’m interested in Lemo

Would something like this interest you for rose gold? https://www.cerakote.com/uploaded/thumbnails/db_file_img_107097_525x536.jpg
I’m looking at the cerakote library right now and finding colors for most of these, if you find any others let me know!

Now that I look into it more, I’m not actually sure that I was looking at the right price. I’ll definitely keep looking at it, though I still haven’t found that many Lemos in stock. Would you be interested in other push-pulls by chance?

I’ve added a few more cerakote sheet colors. Let me know what you guys think about them.

your not going to find Real "Lemo" connectors for 35. Most places selling Lemo's for like 95 are doing at close to cost. Remember Lemo connector is designed for heavy duty applications such as Space applications and heavy equipment. There over engineered and designed to be almost indestructible. Assuming you can find Lemo connector for that cheap its a counterfeit or one that feel of the back of a truck.

I was looking for something that looks more polished or chrome, like this:

From what I can tell on cerakote they seem to only be able to do that super matte texture, so maybe this isn’t what I’m looking for.

Oh how I love working for a company with Lemo as a supplier and a blanket PO :-)
