Amass XT90
XT90 Info Product Name Amass XT90 Wire diameter range 8AWG Continuous current 90A (Max current 100A) Connector DC Pin Material Brass Gold Plated Voltage ≥500V Feature XT90-S InfoSame as XT90, but has a resistor built in which gets bridges the gap first, allowing your ESC capacitors to slowly charge up (without a spark), which then gets bypassed once you plug the connector in deep enough. No spark is safe for your electronics, and doesn’t wear down the connector!
XT60
XT60 InfoRated at 60 amps
XT30U (current, replaced the XT30)
XT30 InfoXT30U is the upgraded version of original XT30
- The main difference is XT30U is lighter. There is no reason to choose the old version over the U version. Both XT30 and XT30U are compatible.
- Connector rated for 30 amps and can handle up to 60A bursts with no issue.
- Great for auxiliary stuff like connecting your charge port to BMS, running a buck converter for lights, etc.
- Almost as small as a JST connector, but can support far more current!
- Can be soldered to up to a 14 gauge wire!
XT30 (discontinued, replaced by XT30U)
Anderson Powerpoles
QS10
QS10 Info QS8-S Info- Rated for max 200 amps
AS120
AS120 Info- Rated for 120A
- Has four extra pins
Charging Connectors
XLR Info- XLR can accept 14 AWG (1.6 mm or 0.063 in) wire with a current-carrying capacity of 15 amps.
- Large variety of port mounts and covers in waterproof, locking and hardened types.
- One of the current ebike standards.
- Generally more expensive than other connection types.
- Larger than DC jacks or two pin ports.
Higher quality XLR plugs, like the Neutrik XX brand (rated for 16 amps), are an excellent choice for higher current charging.
GX12-3P Info- Common across light electric vehicles such as esk8 and electric scooters.
- Rated for 7 amps from quality suppliers
- Rated Current : 15A
XT60E M
XT60E M InfoAMASS data sheet for XT60E-M.pdf (510.0 KB)
Xt90s and XT60s are also often used. Make sure not to mix it up with your loop key port!!! Always put a fuse in series with your charging port to avoid such disasters.
SP13 Info- Rated for 13A
- Small enough to fit on single-stack enclosures
- Has a screw-on cap for waterproofness!
- Plastic, so easy to epoxy to the enclosure
Cnlinko M20(size) LP-20
Cnlinko M20 InfoThe connector used on the lacroix board, rated for 20 amps, ip67 certified, corrosion resistant, internals of the connector are interchangeable, so of you buy a pair you can config which is female and male
They also produce connectors in the same manner for usb A and rj45 among others

SAE Connector Info
SAE Connector
DC5521 aka 5.5x2.1mm (up to 5A, but gets warm at 4A & 5A) (it’s possible to find models that support 7A and 8A but they are difficult to find, and very stiff to plug and unplug)
This type of female port is only rated up to 2A. I (@rusins) burned one with a 5A charger
But these ones are rated up to 5A:
But these ones are rated up to 5A:
In general, it’s easier to stick to DC55521 connectors. The standard 2.5mm connectors can not handle more current than a good 2.1mm connector. Both are capped to 5A officially.
This female port from electricboardsolutions claims to be rated for up to 4A.
Motor Specific Connectors
Generally used internally to interconnect the ESC to the Motor.
5.5mm bullet connectors (up to 120A)
Good for 120A. Great for big motors! Ideally paired with 10AWG.
Also useful for battery connections (if you know what you are doing).
