That looks like a GX12-3 photo

Grabbed that from a AliExpress listing labeled GX16 3P 3Pin aviation plug, but it very well could be, I can look for a better image with some labels.

My favourite is the Weipu SF12.
I think it’s important that the board side socket is female to prevent accidental shorts.
As far as i’m aware, the GX connectors are only available with a male socket.
Likewise, I believe the XLR connectors can be found with a male or female socket.
Important things to remember when purchasing.
For the rough and ready, an xt30 is an excellent charge port.

Definitely agree with vehicle(battery) side socket should be female to prevent accidental shorts, plus then a nice flush cover can be added.
The Weipu SF12 connectors look nice(didn’t know about them), feel free to add it or once I can edit I will for sure.
GX ports well common are overall a lesser of the port standards IMO cheap and strong enough but not my top pick.

Some combination of a panel mount xt30 with a cover and a externally serviceable fuse in one compact part would be nice. Seems like it could be less than 18x18.
Be fancy and have an XT90 out with a large fuse option.

definitely seems doable. How bug are the mini blade fuses?

Not sure how you would diy the port cover very well though. Haha I would want more fuses stored in there as well…
Definitely could get the dimensions way down depending on how your orient them. I was kinda confused the other day when I was thinking of DC jacks with fuse combination that must exist.

I can see it, and it looks awesome. I wish I had time to CAD it up.

And idea that comes to mind is cutting the lid off a Gatorade bottle and using that. Easy to replace and replicate the receptacle.
Ok entering shitty diwhy territory I must relinquish.

I started using GX-16-2 ports a while back and I definitely like them a lot. The receiving port doesn’t stick out too much and the backshell area is decently small
@glyphiks I have a weipu I haven’t used yet but wow is it nice. Shame they’re like 8 bucks a pop tho
It’s no Gatorade bottle, but fitted this on my build tonight.

Definitely the classiest xt30 charge port I have seen
