    I trying to find what's the formal name/type of the connectors found on the back of the Blackbox and use with OpenBuilds "Xtension" connectors.

    Like these:
    Xtension Connector Sets

    I have search in amazon\others but I still haven't found them with the groove and slot, (also afraid of the dimensions as I want them to work with the Blackbox) and Im also looking for ones to be used in a PCBs.

    The half of that connection you can't find is where the magic happens. The dimensions are found in the Xtension Connector Sets link and they are available. Also, all of the OpenBuilds wiring harnesses and motors (Plus the BlackBox) all come with those connectors.

    Searching digikey or mouser would probably be more productive than amazon.

    I have only found one online retailer that sells both male and female at a reasonable price. You get both pieces (male and Female) for the price of one piece at mouser or digikey.

    Time value of money. How much time do you have for searching for something that is already found to be readily and reasonably available. Will you find it at a cheaper price? If you do it will most likely be cheaper quality as well.
