Easier to secure the Male portion to an enclosure flush, and if the anti-spark portion of the key does get damaged (not fully seated you will melt the resistor) - a simple regular XT90 (spark!) works in a pinch and you can still ride.
I embedded mine in the deck. I like to use the anti-spark male shape on the deck side as its cheaper to have multiple keys that way. Just in case I loose one. With this on the side of the deck I can access it from the top or bottom in an emergency.
Just chiming in here. With the non-resistor Female side fixed to deck - you can use any old XT-90 male w/ or w/o resistor/anti-spark in a pinch.
I’ve killed a few resistors/XT-90s and do not want to cut out and re-mount into my enclosure or deck.
Yes the “male” w/ resistor is cleaner and less able to short, but i like the more reliable and flexible way i setup the anti-spark loop key for these reasons.
