Comment on 5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available

One of a kind hobby project. I want to experiment with time of day controlled LEDs, and see how they work as a light based wake up alarm.

I’d rather not break the bank for needlessly overkill connectors, the total for the project so far is only ~220$, and I only sporadically work on it.
-
portability isn’t all that important, but the chassis the connectors would connect to should preferably be as small as possible. The PWM circuitry without connectors are ~8cmx3cm.

I wouldn’t mind using connectors with more pins. The primary challenge is just finding a connector with both male and female socket plugs that seems to easy to plug in and out, within specs.

Thanks for the update. In that case I would be looking at terminal block plugs. They can easily handle the current, they come in a wide variety including panel mount, and they’re cheap. What’s even better, they don’t require crimping and one I saw didn’t even use screw terminals www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/…/370?s=N4IgjC…
