Poked around a bit (such as this thread) for info, but didn't quite turn up an answer.
For smaller gauge wires (anything under 14 or so), you can find plenty of crimp connections all over. JST, as an example for really small stuff and the ever present, and very generic, bullet for larger:
Skipping over the mid range, in the BIG HONKER leagues (6AWG or thicker) you get into hydraulic crimps but have landed into lug mounts instead.
I can't find bullets that crimp for the 12/10/8 range.
I've typically resorted to XT150's as my weapon of choice in these situations, but it does require a good chunk of time and solder to get that to work -- especially getting the thick wires heated up enough for good penetration of the solder. There are anderson connectors rated for 120A, but they are comically large...like, my god those are hilarious.
SO:
Where's the missing link of big, crimped bullet connectors? Do they just stop existing around 14AWG and everything from there is solder bullets or crimp lugs?
