Low Profile Connector Recommendations

[YoshiMoshi]

I'm looking for some low profile electrical connectors for a single 12 AWG wire and up to 30 A continuous.

Any recommendations? I'm not sure which connector types are the lowest profile.

Trying to see if I can get an internal connector in my pack.

Thank you!

You could use the contacts from an EC3 connector and insulate them with heat shrink tubing. Similar 3.5mm bullet connectors are available without a housing but they often don't list the maximum AWG.

Bullet connectors used on RC motors are probably the smallest. Just barely bigger than the wire, but you need to add some insulation.



I've also used "Euro style" terminal block connectors the have screws to hold the wire. You can cut these with a blade to make a single.

Can you provide links, where to buy? Thx

edit: Can those bullet connectors be crimped or solder only?
