coil cable for detectors..minelab excalibur or....

Here are some photos of the Lumberg's ip68 connector.
Well, it look's good, but I'm still having some doubts about how it will remain hermetically sealed then assembled.
The advantages are clear:
- this model is coming assembled, no need to order all the pieces separately;
- it has contacts for soldering, but not crimp contacts (no assembly tool is needed)
- it is compact
- it has 4 pins (the Bulgin has 3 or 8 pins)
- it is cheap. Finally it cost me around USD19.5.

Below you could find exact part numbers of each piece:

I've double check the main dimensions of the chassis plug, and it correspond to the drawing I've placed earlier.

I like those and the price is good....20.oo ..I like...they are from Germany..good stuff most of the time. And I like the fact they are assembly ..............I'll be getting those endcaps shipped next week, I'm off to the beach friday to monday for headphone testing and pictures. I'm very interest in seeing your results....I just ordered similar from china

I'll be hot on this subject in a few weeks..still working on the HP's and testing....

Joe, thank you for the good news, I'll be waiting your message about endcups next week. Thinking to assemble the connectors and make Xcal mod together with new end cups.
By the way... one of the point why I'm still not convinced to replace stock headphones by Peltors is because of that metallic part of its construction. I suppose it is not made of stainless steel. Isn't it? Frequently I got the headphones completely immersed into the water (as ebb isn't significant in my site, I need to hunt as deep as I could enter), so I'm scare that metallic part will became oxidized very fast.

Wish you to pass a great time hunting on the beach. Tell please your conclusions about the headphone's mod.
I suppose, I'll be off to the beach as well during all the following week, but on the contact. Couldn't promise great finds (it is not a high season now ), but at least I'll check small reparations I've made on my devices.

Connect new coil cable to the coil is not necessary to make so complicated ,,life saving,, operation...under original coil cable connector enough coil cable to connect new coil cable.

Ufobbs,

Greetings. I see that you have replaced your cable on your excal. I will be doing the same once my cable comes in. If I may, can you tell me your process and all materials that I will need? Your help is very much appreciated. Please e-mail me at your leisure.
