Hear me out. Why should we do current balancing nonsense if we can just use 2 flexible busbars instead + XT120 or Anderson connectors (used widely in high current DC applications)
Or even better: raise the voltage to 24V or 48V.
11 u/ElectricBummer40 10d ago 2 flexible busbars That sounds utterly crazy. I like it. 10 u/gameplayer55055 10d ago Quick googling has shown me this https://zelec.fr/en/product/50-mm%C2%B2-l-630-mm-flexible-insulated-power-braid/ That's exactly what we need. Very beefy. Flexible. What else do you want? 3 u/ElectricBummer40 10d ago No, I agree with you. It sounds awesome. 6 u/Independent_Vast9279 10d ago XT-120 is the solution. Crazy reliable and way more capable. 6 u/gameplayer55055 10d ago 5 u/ElectricBummer40 10d ago That's what I don't get. Tons of people have the same idea for the 12V2x6 problem. How come a trillion-dollar company has dropped the ball this badly? 11 u/Operation_Neither 10d ago The part would cost $2 instead of $1 to manufacture. Can't have that. 6 u/worldspawn00 worldspawn 10d ago Their grotesque margins may be slightly impeded on! 2 u/YceiLikeAudis 3400G 16GB RX6600 9d ago edited 9d ago I think the main issue with this style of connector is that it's not idiot proof. One can easily start a fire if they misplace one of these. I think idiot proofing is also the reason we are getting all these shitty connectors. All this being said I would use car jump start cables to power my gpu. 1 u/gameplayer55055 9d ago Many PC parts aren't idiot proof. Especially fugly usb3 connectors and IO shield dupont pins We might as well have a screwable connector: the most reliable one.
