where do i find the female part for bullet connectors?

[emaayan]

i know where to get the male ones but the closest ones i i could find were cable footings.

i was told that bullet connectors are better for anderson's when it comes to phase wires.

go to hobby king n look around. this is true, go for only bullets connectors.

 

[emaayan]

if that is true then how is it that ebike.ca supplies it's 30A controllers with andersons for phase?

 

[arkmundi]

you can try the local bar scene or the personals - craigslist is very active place these days to get a connection :lol: :lol:

 

[emaayan]

not if your're from israel and i never went to bars... or parties..

I have a bag of bare 4mm bullets from Hobby King. If these are what you need, I can mail you some.

Both 4mm bullets and andersons work fine for 30 amps IMO. Both have differing advantages and disadvantages. If you prefer a crimp to a solder, go andersons.

But for a bit more than 40 amps, the 4mm bullets can carry more current, and work good with larger than 12g wire. 5 mm bullets for 8 g wire.

There may be hobby stores in Israel that have bullets, but many of us just get them from HK.

em3ev says that phase wires actually carry 60-70 bursts of amps, and that's why even 30 amps it needs bullets.

sounds like bullshit again...it is either bullets OR andersons...Andersons are Andersons and Bullets are bullets.

You can't have Bullets for Andersons it is one or the other

 

[emaayan]

it's not BS, it's my very own brain fart, replace "for" with "than" and everything makes a lot more sense

 

[NeilP]

OK, well then it makes sense...

Andersons ...forget them...and just go to Hobby King to buy the bullets..they have them all 4mm 5mm

etc.

actually my current phase connectors i'm using (and that haven't melted) are in fact http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0428150012_CRIMP_TERMINALS.xml cause it came with ecospeed and i'm guessing they had a reason to use it, i'm currently in the process of finding an spare motor, as well as ordering from ecospeed another motor (once they get them).

I use butt connectors on my phase wires since my soldering skills aren't that great.

Yes, the cheapest they could find that would do the job
