BTW There is a rather rare quick disconnect where identical
terminals are crimped on each of two wires, the two are crossed,
and then brought out to straight, causing a J-hook on each end
to clasp the flat blade on the other end. Slide some Vinyl
sleeving over the joined pair. I call them "handshake splices"
but I don't know the official name. I've only seen them made by
AMP.

These are becoming the standard low voltage DC connectors for winches,
ham radio and model airplane battery packs:

I ended up with that very deal when I put built the removable receiver
winch for my Tundra. Available at NAPA stores nationwide.
