Deans or TRX Connector

[BrianG]

I agree. I have about a bazillion Deans and not about to switch now, lol.

Soldering even 10GA cleanly is indeed possible if you are skilled enough. Not ideal, but possible. I do agree on the grip area of a Deans is too small, but really only on the male plug, but I found a way around that.

What is the way around that?

No need(maybe impossible) for a grip area, just hold the wires and pull them apart, for 12AWG wires with good solder quality, that's just no problem.

TRX connector is obviously a much newer design, has no reason to be worse then the old one. Deans does require higher soldering skill, heating over several seconds will destroy the plastic, making plug/unplug even harder.
