We used the 2-position "0.100" Latching Polarizing Connectors" from Hansen Hobbies for the CAN wires on the Talon SRX's last year and had zero problems throughout the competition season plus the 3 or 4 off-season events. The pins can be crimped with the same crimper used for the normal PWM cables. We also crimped Anderson connectors onto the input and output wires so that the whole motor controller can be swapped out quickly and easily (did not have to) or it can be re-used as is. Just be sure to do a pull-test immediately after each and every crimp and to have someone else inspect the work (and repeat the pull-test) to ensure it was all done correctly. We coiled up the excess wire and tied it up neatly using small cable ties. The connectors for the CAN connections were contained within the loop, guaranteeing that no physical strain is put on the connection.
