#cursedconnector claims to handle 50 VAC.

The pitch you're seeing? 0.5mm.
Gaps between pins are an order of magnitude smaller.

Maybe it needs to be used under a blanket of SF6...

#cursedconnector screws over those who don't read the whole product description that finishes with claiming the opposite of what is said in the beginning.

Yes, you can get Phoenix Contact MKDS 3 terminal blocks in your Mouser search results, and some of them come with all contacts properly shorted together.

(Thank F* they finally discontinued this abomination now. Perhaps the 10th customer throwing rocks through their HQ windows was enough to have them change their mind)

I'm sorry what in Satan's #gravy boat was Axis thinking with these terminals in their older IP cameras?!

[displeased growling noises]

A little excursion into ERSA land shows the same kinds of problems.

The plastic connectors are longer than the metal ones so that they don't mate despite having compatible contact fields?

Are you kidding me.

Addendum: Bel Stewart part number is: SS-92000-001

PCB mounted, compact M12 connectors manufactured with a riser PCB.

I guess when you need them, you need them. Otherwise, they're mildly #cursedconnector

Last pic shows a regular M12 board-mounted connector for comparison.

Definitely a #cursedConnector if ever I've seen one.

50% #CursedConnector, 50% tempted to try them

Und jetzt bin ich fast versucht mir einen dieser #CursedConnector für die nächste Auslandsreise zu clicken.

Lokal hier hab ich noch ein paar mit Schuko-Ende und nur für die Schweiz könnte ich mir einen mit Typ-J-Ende kaufen… aber so Eurostecker wäre gleichzeitig idiotisch (Gerät mit Erdung ungeerdet betreiben?) und würde mehr Probleme lösen.

…und vermutlich ist Erde eh tot im Gerät.

…und nichts kaufen und das 3rd-Party Eurostecker-China-GaN-65W-Netzteil verwenden ist auch nicht besser, oder?

I just hit the cursed connector jackpot.
This is absolutely real. #Alibaba strikes again. Power supply for a #Tuya water monitor.

This broke my morning.
Probably was intended to make a mono -ish mix from a headphone jack in the most #cursedconnector way possible.
Shorts the -/+ of a pro audio balance outputs. Creating a signal that is as bad as your cmmr is good.

Why would radio shack chose this violence?

@billgoats this is my personal favorite #CursedConnector

Aus einer Produktrezension für einen #USB-A-Stecker-auf-USB-C-Buchse-Adapter:

> „USB C ist Fluch und Segen zugleich. Steckt man ein USB C Kabel in einer Position in den [...]-Adapter, hat man ca. 340 MB/s - also USB3 "superspeed". Steckt man das Kabel um 180° gedreht ein, sind es nur 40 MB/s, also nur USB2 "highspeed". [...] Und das alles, weil der Hersteller 4 Leitungsstücke je 20 mm einsparen wollte.“

USB-C PD over PoE – is that a thing vor rather a #CursedConnector?
