Re: Anderson PowerPole for CAN bus?

We're using Hansen Hobbies' 2-pin 0.1" LP (latching polarized) connectors (http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...nlpconnectors/) for our CAN bus. They use different pin inserts than their other 0.1" connectors, but you can use the same crimper for both. They're a tiny bit longer when mated than a standard PWM but they're much more robust thanks to the latching feature and the polarization keeps you from accidentally swapping CANH and CANL. Basically we put a male and and a female connector on each Talon; makes daisy chaining a cinch.
