content: I bought a pack of these connectors from Aliexpress, they are 2 pole, genderless, small (1cm wide, 5mm high), and a quick insulation displacement connection to the wire, I'm wondering if they are a knock off of something?There seems to be only a few sellers of them on Aliexpress (and could be the same seller with different stores), I can't find them on Taobao either.Any ideas?

content: Yes I know about Anderson Powerpole connectors, these are not them. I looked at the different Anderson products as well but they don't make this one as far as I can see.

content: Well I've hunted high and low and I haven't been able to find them anywhere except for Aliexpress, even did image searches, only Aliexpress results to be had.Really weird, even if they are some actual Chinese invented product, you'd think I could find them on Taobao :-/Anyway, I quite like them, for what it's worth they have about 10mR resistance measured across a mated pair at short wire tails, a bit high but after all this includes 2x insulation displacement connection and the tongue-tongue contact resistance.I can only put about 6A through (edit: of course that's each pole, 6A out and 6A back) with my power supply and dummy load easily and it handles that basically no problem (does get warm, but not too hot), the Aliexpress specs say rated to 10A but I don't think that seems likely for any sort of duration as you'd be looking at a Watt dissipation (or 2 watts if you were using it there and back)... (edit: actually now I think about it I guess they could mean 10A total, 5A on each pole for a half watt dissipation, which would be totally fine).My 20AWG (1.7mm OD) silicone wire fits them just barely (requires pliers and manually pushing the tabs in while releasing to get a nice closure), the Aliexpress listings indicate they take down to 18AWG but I don't think you'd get it closed at least with silicone wire, maybe if you stripped the insulation.I'm using them for test-lead ends, eg some lengths with banana ends, some with clip ends, a 5.5 plug end, a 5.5 socket end, a usb socket end and so on, so I can just plug them together as required.
