[sraque]

I don't favor JST connectors. They are fine connectors, I don't hate them as others seem to, but they are difficult for a team to fabricate because the crimpers made for them are outrageously expensive. You can find generic crimpers, but they require figuring out the right size to crimp both the conductor and insulation. I would not want to deal with any more small JST, Molex, etc. connectors than we already have to for some of the sensors we use.

I don't favor connectors that require soldering either. We produce crimped connections more reliably and quickly, and they hold well under abuse when the crimp is done well.

We love the Anderson Powerpoles and the (cheaper) version of the Hansen Hobbies Molex connectors from Digikey.
