What about the amperage?
I'm wondering if the connectors could handle powering a 6-slot.

I bought some giant amphenol connecters for my first supergun, but they're pretty damn huge, not to mention expensive.

If you know the wattage you can easily figure out the amps. If you plan on using the contact for 5v then that would be 20A, 12v would be about 8A and so on.

Ahh thanks for the tip! Would that 20A then be split amongst the 5 pins then?

Thank you much! I'll have to pick some up next time I place an order there.

Upon further inspection the spec sheet says they're only rated for 3A at 34VDC.
So if I follow correctly 3A *34V = 102W, so 102W/5V = 20.4A. Is that how they appear to handle high amperage?

Yup, but I have never even went past +5v@6A on all the games I have tried.

On a 6 slot I believe the max amp pull is around 9A.
