Anderson Power Pole for motors

[droswell]

I just bought a bunch of Green, Yellow, and white housings from Powerwerx to match the wires on the speed controllers. They have a whole spectrum of colors, so between mixing terminal rotation and colors you can make different connectors for each motor, sensor, etc.

We are hoping to use the andersons for quick disconnects for our CAN bus as well - anyone see an issue with that?

It will take a fair amount of force to un-mate the housings. You can also use a small screwdriver to disengage the retaining tongue and remove the contact from the housing, allowing the housings to be reused.
