The Amp/Cinch plugs that Hy-Gain and CATS are supplying are okay, but they are not rated for the solenoid current. In addition these must be totally waterproofed to prevent water from getting into the connectors a shorting. They also make servicing of the rotor much more difficult. The stock 51465 terminal board supplied by Hy-Gain uses plated terminal screws which will often rust within days of installation. At Norm’s Rotor Service we supply the same terminal board with stainless steel screws. These boards have survived very well for years with little or no corrosion. This is Norm’s recommendation and is available as part number 51465S. However, we can also supply the Amp and Cinch-Jones plugs.
