Plug and socket type – XT60 is a high current excellent quality connector with high electrical and insulation parameters.

XT60 connector is a very secure battery connection.

The plug and socket is ideal for modeling work and power systems used in electronics.

Gold-plated non-sparking connector is ideal for systems where a lot of current flows, which is why it is so widely used in modeling.

Soldering is required for proper connection and protection with heat shrink sleeve.

Special features of the XT60 plug

• The construction of the connectors allows the use of wires with a cross-section: from 1 to 5mm².
• Contacts with very low connector resistance, very large connection area.
• Compact connector design.
• Gold-plated high-current contacts (built on gold 3.5mm²).
• It is characterized by small size, low weight and efficient current performance.
• XT60 is minimally larger than the XT60U connector.
• The connectors are mostly used in the connections between the speed controller and the battery in the case of aircraft and between the pack and the power distribution board in drones.
• The special design of the connector on 3.5mm gold allows it to work on high current and also protects against reverse plugging.
• Comparison of dimensions with the XT60 and XT90 plug:
