I would have given these 5 stars if not for the reversed polarity issue that would have caused serious problems if I hadn't noticed the change on a later shipment. Fortunately, the wires can be readily popped out and reinserted into the connector with a paper clip.
Color Code on these vary. The black and red wires are swapped from earlier version. I learned the hard way plugging a battery pack into a micro-controller. Confirm polarity of connection. If you are retro-fitting with a previous install. Overall nice connector though.
I use these on anything under 20 watts for hooking the speakers to the transformer. The 3 wire ones work great when the transformer is mounted to the speaker. The price is good, and performance is also good, especially for 15 watts or less. These also work great for guitar pickups, and Varitone circuit bypass options in semi hollow guitars which are very hard to work on. I can just plug in another pickup rather than do major surgery on the guitar or pickup. These would not be advisable for wiring anything greater than a 25 watt amp's speakers, or about 5 amperes of continuous power. Watch the polarity on all these types of things. Stuff winds up in surplus for various reasons. Sometimes they were made wrong. Other times things do not work at all, like caps which were wound with bad film. Check & pretest everything you buy surplus. If you are a high end premium builder you check the new retail stuff too. That was McIntosh's mantra.
Using this wire set with CAT # BT-3 battery meter, as an umbilical between the chassis and the body of a modified New Bright Hummer, with the battery meter mounted in the back window.
The Red and Black were easy to see in the connectors, and are easy to change if necessary.
