+1 for this. With the right tools to crimp them and the ability to slot them together into harness blocks, they are my go-to for this application.

Good point on the amp rating, but yes--these things are fantastic for fast hookups. I wired an entire robot that ran NeveRest motors with them once, and they held fast through me dragging a motor, drill gearbox, and omniwheel web along behind me. 10/10 would drag again.

(Full disclosure: I work at AndyMark, which sells both.)
