The Cannon D connectors so widespread in the computer subculture these days
make superb power connectors,
except that you gotta use a multitude of small
( AWG 20~22 ) wires to construct the power cable.
I used Cannon 'D' connectors back in the late 1970's as the output power
connector for 5 volt 60 amp power supplies with excellent results.
You can buy them for pennies almost anywhere.
Try Radio Trash or 'All Electronics' in Van Nuys CA.
Useful sizes for DC power are the 9 or 15 pin mating pairs.
Cannon rates the current level at 5 amps per pin.
