Can anybody suggest a suitable small size panel mount receptable
(a) with at list 4 pins/poles
(b) small size suitable to fit on the front side of a din rail mounted box
(C) will only carry 5v supply and TTL signals
The above is needed to provide connection for the serial programming signals of the arduino.
These are ground, 5v, Tx, Rx and reset and will then be connected to an external Ftdi module.
I thought of using a 9 pin rs232 connector but that might bring confusion as rs232 signals are not ttl compatible, let alone that it is too big.
I don't recall you saying which Arduino you are using. If you're Arduino has a USB connector on it, why don't you use it. They make a USB panel mount connector for this type application. No way you can get it confused. And you don't have to keep up with a special cable to use it.

Its a home brew atmega1284p based system. There is no usb port. I use an external ftdi usb ro serial board to program it
Dupont would be a good idea...and i have been following your diy tips thread too!
But i dont have a cnc machine and cutting a good looking rectangle hole for the dupont connector without one is very difficult!

Before doing so, make sure you can securely glue the connector with solvent, I use Methylene Chloride.
Well, apparently Methylene Chloride is particularly toxic and possibly carcinogenic so I couldnt get easily it where i live. I use super glue instead...
These days less dangerous solvents are also used. Even liquid CO2 will do it I believe, and ethyl-ethanoate is
used (present in fruit, smells lovely). Being a very volatile solvent dichloro-methane is easily removed by
steaming, and I suspect the last vestiges are driven off actually making the coffee. Exposure to high concentrations of any non-polar solvent can cause coma and death.
