Barrel to wire screw terminal adapter is no good for powering the bitaxe

Some power supplies come with these 2.5mm barrel to wire screw terminal adapters:

Unfortunately they are too high resistance for use in powering the bitaxe. They will drop the input voltage too much and/or get super hot. It's best to wire it directly.

what about USB-C type? It's support high amp.

USB c requires extra Chip to get proper Power. Also, at 5v, USB c can "only" handle 5a (Most chargers dont do). USB c Gear is quite expensive currently so I wouldnt so that.

Im actually quite Happy with spade connectors, as you can and should Just get an proper Power supply already.

Abstract Idea: use ATX Power supply connectors...

The only alternative I can see here is an XT30 or XT60 connection.
