Does anybody know what these conectors are called and where is a good place to get them from cheaply?

The cheapest ive found is £2.75 for a set of black and red at sussex model center.

PS. Does anyone know what there current rating is also?

Hi Danny, those are called Anderson Powerpoles and are avaitable in 15A, 30A, 45A and 75A current ratings, 45A ones should be good for most FW robots.
many electronics stores sell those and ive seen those in robotcombat.com-- http://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_connectors.htmlhttp://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_connectors.html

hope that this helps! :)

Thanks for your quick reply!!

Yup it helps.

theyre in there (took me ages to find them originally), also the 50 & 175 amp Andersons are in there. Make sure you order the contacts as they dont come with them.

Ah, i looked in RS before but couldnt find them (As i didnt know what they were called)

Thanks :)

Mario has also some access to a supplier here in Belgium but his are red and white. He usually brings his stock along to live events. (Although I dont know how many he has left now.)

One point of advice: you can solder the contacts to your wires. Wont come loose so easily then.

Danny,
We use these and nothing else in all our machines. The 120A version makes an excellent removable link for a heavy. We use the 75A version for internal conections (Motors, Speed controler, etc) on the heavy and also for the removable link on our feathers. The 30A version is used for battrey and other internal conections on the feathers. As Babeth says, solder, NEVER crimp the contacts. For extra security we always lock each pair with a cable tie as it is not unknown for the 30A versions to unplug under heavy impact.
