Connectors to know about like e.g. Anderson Power Poles, good/reliable molex SKUs, etc. What do you like?

@starsandrobots I use powerpoles for my wheelchair modding projects - love 'em. Never seen one fail, though they do pop apart if pulled. -
@metaforgotten right?? so great! any others you love? -
@starsandrobots That's really the only one I use, although I've had fun realizing that most power connectors are standard (1/2) -
@starsandrobots and thus I can replace some bulky disability equip chargers with, like, USB power. (2/2) -
@starsandrobots Manuals never say "yeah, this is an EIAJ-02", or "this takes 6.3V max, close enough to 5V", but if you look closely ... grin -
@metaforgotten that's pretty awesome. APP are also the only connectors I've ever trusted for home motorcycle repairs. And they're so robust. -
@starsandrobots I convinced the vendor to put APP on my chair when I bought it 3 yrs ago, and that made USB trivial: http://www.powerwerx.com/batteries-chargers/usbbuddy-powerpole-12v-usb-5v-device-charger.html … - 1 more reply

@starsandrobots Oh and don't forget about the RJ series. Simple and cheap. -
@issackelly oh you mean like RJ45 etc? What do you use those on? -
@starsandrobots Yeah! We used those for data for NeoPixels on Xylophage. Nice for mechanical and physical connections. Little data loss. -
@issackelly wow, neat! and, you get commodity crimpers too, right? great idea. -
@starsandrobots Yeah, tons of wire, connectors, jackets, crimper all from mono price. Very economical.

@starsandrobots M8/M12 connectors are solid and about the cheapest IP67/68 connectors going. -
@nocleverhandle these look pretty beefy! any chance you'd have a preferred source link? (no worries if not, I'll also search around) -
@starsandrobots Digikey, Mouser, and McMaster-Carr all carry them. I'm sure there are many other sources as well.
