Non Soldering Connector for hall sensor pls?

[my.motion]

Hi All,

I want to fit a connector (non soldering, no crimping tools) to enable easy removal of the front hub motor. The connector must be waterproof please. I can use andersons powerpoles for the motor, but not sure what to use for Hall sensor 5 wires that do not require soldering. Any ideas please? has anyone used any type that requires no soldering or crimping?



Thanks

OK, this is a difficult requirement. But it raises a question.
How do you use Anderson Powerpoles without soldering or crimping?

Ezee seem to have gone over to JST SM's for Hall connectors, but they require crimping and are not waterproof. I've been using Binder 712 which are waterproof but require some delicate soldering.

Thanks Nick,

Please excuse my ignorance, I thought with andersons you just feed the wire through the metal connectors and use pliers to crimple!

I guess I have to learn soldering Can a beginner do the delicate soldering on the 712 connectors?

Will these work?

the 5 way from ebay has max 14A max current, so I guess no suitable for my 48v 12Ah?

Hi,

The Anderson PPs can be soldered or crimped. Like most crimps its a special tool; pliers won't do it.

The Superseals look nice. I've not used them, but they look like they need crimping.

The motor phase current is not the same as the battery Ah. 14 A may well be enough for most motors.

I wouldn't suggest Binder 712 or anything that small for a beginner at soldering. I used them because they are small, but that can be a problem as well as a benefit

There isn't an ideal solution even if you are prepared to solder or invest in the crimp tools. I'm not sure what to suggest, apart from putting a terminal block inside a small case. I'd be interested in what other people suggest.
