ReFire Solutions is happy to announce the ReFire Quick Connect for Brushless Motor - an adapter board for the Kraken X60, converting the screw terminals to Anderson Powerpole® and Molex SL™ connections. In addition to the power input and the pair of CAN connections, the board provides an additional connector with CAN and protected power, allowing teams to connect a low power CAN sensor to their motor easily.
Key Features:
• Branded Molex SL™ connectors
• Compact form factor with all connectors adjacent to motor
• Anderson Powerpole® power connector
• FRC Legal FRC Blog - 2025 Legal Devices
What are the chances there’s an XT60 or XT90 version in the works like you have for the 775pro? I’m interested, but right now we’re are strictly an XT team and I’d prefer not to mix.
I am not sure how many people this effects but some feedback I can give you guys from using the WCP version is you should mirror the can in and out so teams can use pre fabricated wires. We ordered from digi key the correct length but since it loops the H goes to the L when you install them and had to flip the pins. I could be wrong but this seems like it is designed with swerve drives in mind since the WCP ones have bad angles for wires that this one fixes. I could be totally wrong and this isn’t feasible but it makes it even more plug and play. The 4 pin works great too for powering the cancoder. About to order 20 of these though!
Unfortunately there isn’t currently an XT60/XT90 version in the works. We didn’t see enough demand in our XT60 for the 550/775 to warrant designing one.
We ordered these which were 150mm, on SDS MK4I it was a little tight I’d order a little longer and not sure the span for other swerve pods. If you use these it eliminates a connection between the two motors and keeps the wire short.
Yes that’s what we were looking for. If a company made a male to male and had them twisted correctly that would also fix this problem since none of the boards have their can mirrored. Or teams can make their own but it’d be nice if there was a pre made cable since there’s a very popular use case for this.
Would like to add here too that I think in the future you should include the screw style ctre/WCP supplies. They liked to be torqued with their special tool and Phillips screws don’t allow you to use their tool. You could get a different bit but it’d be nice to have same hardware. We had the WCP version so we are reusing those screws on our robot.
The fit and finish is great! Smaller footprint than the WCP, hole tolerance on plastic cover is better than WCP and the wire layout is awesome. Will post photos with our SDS PCB
So it doesn’t use the same screws?
Couldn’t you use the CTR hex driver with a different bit? Can you post a photo of your MK4i configuration. We’re very interested and put an order in, but I don’t expect them to arrive before kickoff.
So I postED and the box comes today LOL. The Philips head screws are for holding the plate down. The power and signal cables use the stock CTRE/WCP screws, (which the terminals now cover anyway) so the CTRE torque wrench is still your friend.
You will need 3/8 long screws for the CAN connectors.
We just checked our entire stock and didn’t find any Phillips screws.
Could you check all of the screws that came with your connectors and send me a picture of the head of the Phillips screws? Once we verify the issue and know how many you need, we will get replacements sent out.
Exactly the reason I like these so much - enough to order a dozen plus and I’ve already mounted a set up on a spare MK4i and worked out a wiring harness to pitch to the electronics folks on the team.
Love how all the wiring heads in the same direction.
