A friend and I were discussing a connector problem the other day and
we decided to ask a more informed audience. Sooo.....

Does anyone know of a connector that meets the following requirements:

1) three prongs each carrying 50 amps at 5v DC.

2) (the killer :-) must be able to connect and disconnect hot, with 
    no arcing.

Please E-mail responses to me. Pointers to sources welcome.

Thanks,
