Default 5MM bullet connector set semicircle

Im having a hard time finding good budget 5mm banana semicircle set connectors, I can find amass 4mm and 5.5mm but no 5mm.
I bought a protek battery and didn't realize it had 5mm connectors, they come with 4mm adaptors but they recommend to use 5mm to take advantage of the power.
the only ones I can find are non semicircle and don't come in sets, thus they are expensive.
anyone has found some?

I have no idea what you are asking.

5mm bullets are all over the place. Maybe OOS.

Could you provide a link to the battery you have so we can point you in the right direction.

Is this what you mean by semicircle type?

Correct, this are the semicircle, but seems Amass doesn't do 5mm, and in my experience, this have a better surface contact, specially for 5mm
I can find regular ones for $ 4 a pair protek branded, but since I'm new into RC I was checking to see if anyone knew a better source as I can get 10 pair of amass for $8 (yes i know ali 60 days)

I don't know that they will provide any better contact than other top name brand ones. 1up, TQ and a few others make solid ones. I do like the trinity ones I linked because they have a set screw which allows you to secure them in and ensure they have good contact.

A good solder job will have the same resistance as your half circle, if your doing a 90 degree connection. That half circle is only beneficial if your soldering a wire straight in. It give more support for the wire.

This is true, that is why I want them, to do a straight connection

I've been using 5mm bullets for several years and recently picked up some of these. I sometimes had problems removing the low profile ones and I didn't want to pull them out by the wires, so I usually ended up prying them out with a screwdriver. But these give you something to grab onto with your fingers. You can put the wire through the "window" for a right angle connection, or through the top.

They look great, do you happen to have a link or brand?

I got mine from RCJuice, $6 for 5 pairs. Can't speak to the quality difference if any with the more expensive brands.
