How to choose the right electric bike battery connector?
It can be difficult and confusing to choose the right connectors for an electric bike battery. IT REALLY can be critical for a person who is new to the electric bike industry. Pay attention to convenience, reliability, durability, water resistance level, size, and price when considering the connector. There are some points mentioned below that can be useful while choosing a connector for any e-bike.
Current Rating: It gets a bit confusing in the 15A, 30A, and 45A versions of the connector, but they are all identical and interchangeable. The only difference is the wire size for the pin crimp, and a heavier gauge wire can naturally handle higher currents
Crimping vs Soldering: Another benefit is that pins can be crimped for a fast and reliable connection, or soldered if you don't have or want to pay for a crimping tool.
Pin Detent: There are both standard and high detent pins available, which refer to the profile of the pin curvature. The high detent pins have a steeper angle on the back mating surface, which holds them together with greater force against small tugs and vibration.
Retention Pins: In situations where the cable connector can get tugged apart, Anderson also offers retention pins that snap in the holes between mated connectors and prevent them from being pulled apart.
