Neat JHead wiriing examples

Hi guys

just wondering if you can post some nice clean examples of Wiring a J-Head

im looking for connects used, what type and gauge of wire , Wire heat protection, Wire placement (resistor and also thermistor), quick change options on wiring also. as i want to easily switch between .5 for parts and .35 for art

just redoing my .5mm h-head nozzel after cleaning it up and trying to get it nice a neat.

just as a note iv seen on the mendel 90 it uses a 9pin d connector for the extruder assembly. this never carries the jhead power as well does it ? what amp would you say the j-head uses ?

Yes it powers the J-head. The heater should take 2A or less.

can any one suggest some nice 2A connectors and plugs ? (UK if possible farnell even better)

also wire im thinking PTFE teflon coated wire? trouble is i see it on ebay but only lists thickness of wire not rating in amps

D type connectors handle 2A or more per pin, that is why I use them.

lol didnt know they went that high. d sub it is!

any suggestions on wire thickness?

Some are 2A, some 5A and some 7A. It depends on the contact material.

The heater wires should be at least 22 AWG I think.
