Hi All,
I'm sure some have seen these, but I thought I'd post for our newer members. These are a heavier guage of metal from Digikey, seemingly gold plated. The 3/32 shrink tubing really holds the contact tightly. I believe they are good for as much as ten amps per Ralph Weaver:

Hi Ted,

Those look like nice connectors, how/where did your order/buy them from? Are you using them for brushless ctr/motor hookup?

Marcel,
They are from Digikey. I have the part number at home, I'll bring them to the field tomorrow, and post a picture ofthe package.

I am using them between the controller and motor, to allow changing out and reversal. I may also use them for battery connect in the future, but currently I am happy with the 3 pole mini Dean's connectors, in spite of their being relatively hard to get apart sometimes.
