   "XT30, XT60 and XT90 are Amass's yellow, polarised DC connectors for RC batteries and drones; Anderson's Powerpole PP15 / PP30 / PP45 are Anderson's stackable, touch-safe connectors that share one housing family across three contact sizes. This page is numbers-only: the rows are what the maker sheets print as text. Ratings differ by source (an XT60 is 30 A rated and 60 A instantaneous on Amass's sheet, 35 A on Electrokit's panel-mount listing, '60 A peak, 30 A continuous' on the Digi-Key forum), so use the maker's rating for the cable and temperature rise you have.",

The only mm values printed as text are creepage distances (XT60L 6.90; XT90PW 1.50; XT90PB 4.50) and solder-tail heights (XT90PW 2.8; XT90PB 3.3). Retailers print an overall size without saying which number is length, width or height, shown above as printed.",
   "Powerpole: the Anderson sheet's housing figure has callouts A, B, C, D (7.9, 7.9, 26.6, 41.3 mm) without a legend in the text, and Electrokit's copy of the Anderson sheet shows 41.2 and 24.6 mm callouts on the same housing, so the values disagree and are not assigned to a feature. The contact tables use letters A to E (for the 1332 PP15 contact: A 16.25, B 7.87, C 3.05, D 1.78, E 3.68 mm) with no legend either.
