Simple connector for single conductor 0.75mm² (18 AWG) that will remain connected under tension while being spooled (lemmy.ca)

I have a 750m 0.75mm² wire on a spool that needs a quick disconnect connector of some sort on it so it can take it off in 250m lengths. But it has to handle the tension of being spooled up. Any ideas?

In an ideal world it would be a male and female banana plug thing, but that wouldn't hold under tension. So I'm hoping you folks have ideas.

XR60 or even 90. So simply larger connectors essentially. The require quiet some force.

It would be a good choice if I had two wires. This is a single wire, so I'd only be using one of the two contacts. So some of the features aren't needed.

So? It is still the cheapest option, extremely reliable, well known, available everywhere, ... For example a connector being certified for aircraft adds not only features you do not need, it also massively increases cost.
