I'm repairing a mobility scooter that burned up the speed controller because of a poor connection in the spade connectors that power the motor. The motor is a 24V, 13A, 700W, DC motor. The speed controller is a 160amp controller. There are four 1/4" male spade connectors on the controller that connect to the motor. Two connect to the positive lead and two to the negative lead. It is splitting up the current between the 4 connectors. Due to vibration the connectors got a little loose over time, started to arc, etc., and fried the controller. I don't want that to happen with the new controller given it's quite expensive.
Does anyone have advice on where I can find high quality female connectors that will provide a very secure and tight connection? I don't trust to use the generic automotive spade connectors. That is what was on there before and got loose. Any suggestion appreciated. Thank you!
