Ive looked at XT60s and the Deans connectors
Seems the Deans connectors are popular but look a little challenging
to solder The XT60s are a little better that way for soldering but
are more expensive 60 is for 60 amps I like overkill so it may
seem a better option but beware they are not patented so I am sure
there is a flood of cheep sub standard knockoffs out there.
That said I haven't had much trouble with APP's and everything in
the shack and car that is 12V is using them.
to prevent separation of the red and black I just touch the joint
between them with the soldering iron melting some of the plastic
together or a dab of crazy glue. I have when using heavy wire pried
up the little leaf spring in the connector body before assembly so
that it has a little more force on the connector pin. that seems to
help. I like the cost $15 for a baggy of 10 pairs at the local ham
shop. XT60 at the local hobby store are more than twice that. but
then again he sells APP for 4.99 a pair. XT 60s are much cheeper if
ordered online like Hobby King

I use APP's with great success. Yes, I wish they were a little more
firm
in their locking, but I do like the speed of crimping.
However, as I move forward, I will be switching to Dean's connectors
or
XT60's only for the fact they don't require an expensive crimper and
they
are very inexpensive.
