I've used direct connections (e.g. ejection starter wired to altimeter terminal) for charges for electronic deployment, but for a new 4" a/v bay, I'd like to use some type of plug/jack connection for times where the bay needs to be fully disassembled.
Right now, I've wired up the bay with molex 0.062" 2-pin connectors which are good to 5A but are only rated for 25-30 mating cycles. For size, I'm interested in the JST RCY connectors: https://www.jst-mfg.com/product/pdf/eng/eRCY.pdf but the data sheet doesn't specify the number of mating cycles one can expect.
Does anybody have a reference for JST RCY mating cycle rating? I'm also curious about the connectors I've seen at doghouse rocketry.
What's in your a/v bay for this type of application?
