XT60 connectors are able to handle 60A continuous and 180A peak when using 12AWG wire (150A peak for 14AWG wire). The connectors have solder cups to make installing the wire more simple and clean. They are polarity specific, meaning that you can't accidentally plug your battery or component in backwards.
