I believe it's a deans (or is it deanes?) connector going off of another post the other day. I've not studied the board yet to know for sure though.

Hey guys it's a Micro Deans, it's a nice and small high current connector!

Okay it is a Dean's Connector. Does the board have the Male Dean's Connector or the Female Dean's Connector. We need to know which to buy to mate up with it.

So Micro Deans is the same on both sides, no need to worry about male versus female, they are nice that way too

So you are using the Polarized Dean's Micro connector (WSD1222).

Dean's Micro connectors come in non polarized as well.

Obviously someone likes red.

I believe I have seen them in black as well.

The picture was a big help. Thanks.

I'm leaving this post open for a little longer just so new joiners get to see it.

I'd assume they wouldn't be long enough to be useful, although until we get hold of the V4s it's difficult to guess... I'm sure the connector could be removed or changed quite easily if you needed it to be though.
