E/O connector wiring

[phasechange]

I need some help from someone who has an battery pack with an E/O cable. I am putting together a drysuit heating system and want to make sure I wire it up so I could swap it with other packs.



Is this correct:

From the battery side- the male pin should we wired to the battery negative and the female to the positive

On the suit connector – the male pin should be wired to the positive and the female to the negative

White wire on the Batterypack E/O Cable is +, Black wire is -.
On the Lighthead or Suit heater E/O Side the white E/O Wire is -, and the Black E/O Wire is +.

Over the years since 1999 I've made a couple of hundred Divelights with Welch Allyn HID Bulbs, now since Welch Allyn got out of the HID business and LED Lights have gotten to the point where they outclass HID Bulbs, I only make a couple of cables a year for friends and old customers.
A German company, Thor Engineering, started to make better E/O Cords last year that appear to have solved some of the traditional E/O Cord failure points (at least they survive sharp bends much better than the Carol cable that has been the standard for US made E/O Cords for at least the last 20 years). Here is a link for the cords, (in German):

Since I know how to treat E/O cords I haven't yet had a need to try out the THOR cords.

BTW, the THOR is a very good lamp. But I'm still delighted with my Northern Light Scuba 40W Superspot and believe it to be a tad brighter than the THOR with a slightly tighter focus.
