Looking for a 12-pin connector

[BillaVista]

Anyone know where I can get a 12 pin connector (male and female) locally? I want something meant to be put together, rather than using something chopped out of a j/y car and soldering all the wires to the little stubs left.

I want to run all the under-dash wires to it, then have the other side connected to the switches and lights on the dash panel, so I can loom all the wires together and be able to quickly and easily disconnect the dash panel for access and still keep everything neat.

How about a pair of 6 pole trailer conectors? Certainly easy to find.

That's not a bad idea - but it still leaves me having to solder to pigtails.

I'm really looking for something like this:

It was just a thought. Every plug (other than the flat 4 pin) I've ever used the wires were held in sockets built right into the plug with a set screw (no pigtails). You could solder them in if you wanted but screws hold them flapping around the back of a truck.

I got some just like that from Active Tech:

Not cheap, but you'll find what you're looking for.

I don't have a 12 pin but I think I have two 6 pin connectors like the ones you posted Bill. Yours if you want them.

I should have the proper crimp tool here at work for whatever you can find.

I have some. probably have more than 12 pin. From Pinballs
do you want them weatherproof?
to lock together?

Gervais electronics carries many connectors for electronics.
If you don't want a lot of current, good old DB25 work very well.
for small signals, RJ45s are cheap and quick.
