Seeking info: what are good cables and connectors to know about for projects? (Esp. cable/connector/crimp collections)
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 … - End of conversation
