What do you charge for these?
So @Ricco, if Iām getting this right, the bullets were compressed too much and not making proper contact thus causing the abs fault?

In my experience they work themselves loose over time. Constant vibrations are concentrated at the fixed point. This has happened to nearly every panel mounted board iāve done.
If you can make it so the wires have absolutely no room to vibrate/flex/move coming up to the panel mount, you would likely negate this from happening.
I hate panel mounts

Iāve experienced more reliability from panel mounts personally. But I also do clamp the wires to the deck about ~4cm after the connector. So maybe that is a big factor? IDK.

ok but, whatās the better alternative? grommets and glands?
panel mounts do look really niceā¦
The term ābetterā is subjective to the operator.
Iāve been running my phases out between enclosure and deck with EVA foam as a gasket and connecting to motors in line outside of the enclosure. Working for me so far.

āBetterā to me means more reliable. Cost or hassle be damned.
Doing what Al said, for me, is a disaster because itās nigh impossible to fully waterproof while still being servicable.

This setup had about 250kms on it when i opened. Not a speck of dust inside, but canāt speak for water.
very interesting, as I just printed up some MR60 panel mounts that I plan to use with Weipu SF8 6P connectors to have waterproofed, serviceable disconnects so I donāt have to stretch motor wires to work in the enclosure.

The only instance of panel mounted connectors that have stood the test of time for one of my builds was on the kaly I built for a local dude
This build has probably well over 2000km on it by now with no issues at the panel mounts.
The 3d printed bracket things work really well, but theyāre definitely bulky. Plus theyāre not water proofed in any way. Iād trust my foam gasket over this solution for waterproofness
Iām just using the printed part for structure, once I use a heat gun to form them into the curves of my enclosure Iām coating the entire backside of the connection and panel mount with RTV silicone. should be waterproof enough I hope.
Serviceability = 0 as soon as you smother something in silicone.

thatās fine, if the time comes when I need to service an MR60 connector or hall sensor plug Iāll just cut all the wires and solder on a whole new connector.
the silicone wonāt prevent me from servicing any other part, just the male side of the plugs.
