Local source for packard connectors

[162tcat]

Has anyone found an auto parts store or other local source for the packard connectors? If not, are there any affordable places to buy them in bulk online?

Thanks

Did you google search "military packard connectors" before posting?

Sure did and found all of the usual places. If you read above, I asked about possible local sources such as auto parts stores (napa, car quest, etc) or BULK online, not military dealer gold plated pricing.

I do search before posting but I guess I will start every post with "I already searched"

No one uses these types of connectors anymore EXCEPT for the military.

That's kinda what I thought. Well it looks like the military surplus dealers are the only option.

Thanks

Erik's military is the cheapest place I found and they ship very quickly and they are high quality I just ordered a bunch of prestolite wire in many sizes and Packard connectors from them

I've bought lots of stuff from them in the past and always had good luck. That's probably who I'll use.

Thanks

Ditto^^...I also had Erik get me a 100 count bag each of just the male and female metal connector with out the shells. He special ordered them for me from his supplier. The rubber /plastic parts are reusable so that is why I got them.

I have met with him personally a couple of times and he's good dude. A great guy to do business with. Give him a call when you have special parts needs and he'll help you out.
