4. Is the wire flexible? Yes, very flexible silicone.

5. What is the wire length? 10cm.

6. Are the ends pre-tinned? Yes.

7. Is it waterproof? No.

8. Can I use this for 12V LED strips? Yes, perfect for detachable high-power LED wiring.

9. What is the continuous amp rating? 30 Amps.

10. Is this genuine Amass? It is a high-quality compatible connector.

11. Can I use this for audio speakers? Yes, it makes a great polarised quick-disconnect for speakers.

12. Does it snap into place? Yes, tight friction fit.

13. Is the wire copper? Yes, Tinned Copper.

14. Why use 16AWG instead of 14AWG? 16AWG is lighter, more flexible, and fits the connector better. 14AWG is only for extreme current needs.

15. Can I shorten the wire? Yes, easily.

16. Do you sell the female version? Yes, check our store.

17. What tools do I need? Soldering iron and solder.

18. Can I use this for Li-Ion packs? Yes, for the discharge lead on low-current packs.

19. Does the plastic melt? High-temp nylon resists melting better than cheap clones.

20. Is polarity marked? Yes, + and - are molded into the housing.
