I've done some more digging and asking around... Seems what I was
looking for is referred to as a hermaphroditic connector.
One big maker is Anderson, who make an extremely overrated (voltage
and current) connector called the Powerpole
http://www.andersonpower.com/products/pp/sp.html that seems pretty
popular with the 12V radio crowd (
http://home.comcast.net/~buck0/app.htm ). They are a little heavy
dury for this purpose...so they are a little big, too, but look like a
great design.
Another suggestion made to me was to use standard 9V clip connectors
like this http://www.amqrp.org/kits/NCKeyer/elmer/P7190015a.jpg which
seems like a great idea! Right voltage rating, solid mechanical
connection and readily available! I'll have to see if I can find a
good source of these without the wires, cheap :)
