Have a question about current capabilities of the connectors. Does 5.5 jack (like this) hold 3A?
Where ever you are buying it from should have a current rating. With that amount of plastic i would guess ~3A. I use ones that are full metal and rated for 10A. Also why does that one have 3 prongs?

Bc it is pcb mounted, 3rd one is for rolling around the pin’s axis stability.
Shortly, to fix it in 3d space, not 2d

BT2.0? (It’s explicitly designed for 1s micro multirotors, but it’s good for up to 9A continuous and it’s basically an even further scaled-down XT30. Call it an XT-10.)

The third one is a switched contact that breaks when a connector is inserted.
Allows a device to switch from internal battery to external power supply.

See above.

You could get around this in a couple ways - either swap the genders on one rail (E.G. positive rail has male towards the battery, negative has female), or use two different sizes of connectors (E.G. 2.0 and 3.5mm).

That’s kinda dangerous, if the batter has a male side it’s very easy to short. I think the best bet is some 2.0mm bullets but the lengths are different

Both battery sides are female

Yeah, that’s a good one. And heatshrink together the wires on both sides so it’s physically impossible to plug them in wrong.
You would need to have the shrink wrap end a little down the length so there is wiggle room to plug the bullets in but since it’s staggered it shouldn’t interfere with going into the hole
You can kinda make a sheathing socket with a small piece of plastic straw but you need the right size, maybe a juice box straw or something small would be ideal

Your battery game still makes me ask, “what am I actually doing with my life?”
Takes one to know one

Yeah i know this connector too. It’s great for 1s whoops but it’s fuckin expensive… i can get almost 50 pairs of 2mm bullet connectors for the same price as 5 pairs of these. I think staggered bullets seem like the best option like @ZachTetra mentioned

Yeah, I’m liking that idea more and more. Plus include one or two pieces of heatshrink to hold the connectors together once everything is said and done, and it makes a really nice clean setup.
Maybe someday we can reach out to Amass and get some custom connectors made…?

Oh man what I wouldn’t give for an mr60 that had the 3 motor phases plus 6 mini pins for sensor cables.

That’s the dream. Somebody needs to know somebody who can do this.

Till we get them into mass production we all will run only HFI on our boards

I dont have chinese connections or several thousand to drop on new molds for a production run, but I do have 3.5mm bullets, 2mm bullets, and a 3D printer. This might be worth looking into!

PSA post guys, Kickstarter for Nano Spot Welder, is ending in 18h or so. It’s an impressive offering IMO, offering interchangeable tips including the spring loaded fuse wire welding tip, and even a clamp tip that imitates a traditional clamp spot welder. www.nanospotwelder.com
I’ve got no affiliation other than chatting some with the guy (who’s been on here) that designed the fuse wire and clamp welder attachments, and backing this project myself.
Here’s a vid he posted today showing the impressive performance of the unit with the clamp attachment: https://youtu.be/-2SppwJ3rzY
Anyway, just thought some of you might be interested before the prices go up.
