Re: removable controls mofule

Anderson Power Products makes smaller versions of the Battery connector. They are available in 35 and 45 amp versions and are available at Powerex and West Mountain Radio. The individual insulated bodies can be interlocked to form multipin connectors and they allow for polarity mating. They even come in a variety of colors. I recommend these and the purchase of a crimp tool. (West Mountain) The crimp is sturdy but we add a little solder to be sure of a low resistance contact. You can also use these for control wiring although the crimp tool won't do smaller wire, soldering is effective. McMaster-Carr also sold these but from a different manufacturer. Similar but not as good.
