reliable connectors

[ade]

hi guys looking for some advise on reliable connectors ,just putting together 36v BPM 350w kit and i need a connector to the fuse there don't seem a lot about the heatshrink type with solder in seem good but don't think they will cope with the high current i am using a 15a battery so would also a 30a fuse be ok?
any advise appreciated

Not sure what connector you mean, but i use these with a 20A or 30A blade fuse depending on which controller i am using.
AIV STANDARD FLAT BLADE FUSE HOLDER 6mm2 6 UP TO 32V 40A SPLASH-PROOF | eBay
It gives you a fuse holder with a high amperage cabling already crimped. All you have to do is join it to battery and controller.

Ahh thanks was wondering what those was called, as my Turnigy has them. Makes things a bit easier now.

I'm impressed with them. As a temporary quick-and-dirty method to allow dis/connect from battery /control box /charger I just fitted a matching pair of those, meaning to get all permanent switchy later. Like so many temporary solutions it's remained in place and a year later is still making excellent contact despite being pulled apart many times.

I should mention I bought them from Hobby King as I trusted their quality more. They also sell ready-made wired ones with 100mm tails on them, so the hassle of soldering into the little cups can be avoided.

Ahh hence why I could not find them, ordered a pack of 5 gold plated ones from fleabay. Must be better than vehicle bullet connectors.

I find the Anderson Tornberry connectors 10 x TORBERRY ANDERSON CONNECTORS WITH RUBBER BOOT COVER POWERPOLE (5 x PAIR) | eBay do the trick & stand the test of time but a bit bulky compared to the RC kit.
Regarding the fuse the waterproof blade fuse type already shown are used on our vehicle winches and properly installed can stand total immersion.
