hi
i donot now if this is the right place to ask this question
but i would like to know designers how work in industrial or military products , how they choose their connectors ?
the prices seem crazy high on IP65 and up metal connectors on mouser even in 100pcs quantities , some cost up to 50 to 100 $ for 1 male and female connector ,
ex: https://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntk=P_MarCom&Ntt=170797291
https://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntk=P_MarCom&Ntt=143891976
so if you use 3-4 connectors in your design , it becomes more expensive than the board and enclosure
and sometimes makes the design not cost effective!!!
so please specify where you can get cheap (10$ per connector) connectors like these :
