XT60 connectors are able to handle 60A continuous and 180A peak when using 12AWG wire (150A peak for 14AWG wire). The connectors have solder cups to make installing the wire more simple and clean. They are polarity specific, meaning that you can’t accidentally plug your battery or component in backwards. They are too large to fit through a 14mm hole found in goBILDA channel (17mm hole size minimum required for pass-thru), but are necessary to use for high current applications.
