I'm working on an led display project that has some special requirements due to it's need to be portable and fit in a fairly small-ish container.
This led me to develop a folding led panel system that would need to be connected to the power supply manually each time it is setup.
Here's a 3d animated mockup of how it would be setup:

2 questions if I can!
1) First off, is there anything glaringly obviously wrong with the plan, thus far?
2) Any recommendations on plugs / power connectors rated at roughly 5v 50a ?
regarding the power connectors, I've been searching for a couple hours, and I see a few industrial types from molex, and a few other brands that are rated for 30-60+amps but at incredibly high AC voltages... They're really expensive and huge, I'm not sure what's overkill for this project and whats not considering I'm dealing with 5 volts, and no more draw than 50 amps through any given connector.
I know the typical barrel plug connector is out even if I could get a beefier gauge of wire in there, but I would like something decently easy to plug/unplug like that.
Your thoughts and advice are hugely appreciated!
Thank you
