Compatibility
This connector is primarily used with LiPo, Li-ion, and LiFePO4 battery packs commonly found in RC vehicles and multirotors. It mates directly with any XT60 female or male plug, and is often paired with ESCs, power distribution boards, and high-discharge battery chargers. For microcontroller projects, it can connect high-current loads or batteries where barrel jacks are insufficient.
Wiring Notes
Solder wires to the gold-plated cups: positive to the rounded side and negative to the flat side (red wire to the male connector's positive terminal, black to negative). Use heat shrink tubing over each solder joint to prevent shorts. The connectors are gender-specific, so plan your battery and device sides accordingly.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with standard LiPo batteries?
Yes, the XT60 is the standard connector for most 3S-6S LiPo packs used in drones and RC vehicles. It mates directly with the battery’s XT60 plug.
Can I use this with 10 AWG wire?
Yes, the solder cups accept up to 10 AWG wire. Ensure a clean solder joint and use appropriate heat shrink for insulation.
What is the burst current tolerance?
It can handle short bursts up to 120A, making it suitable for high-torque motors or sudden power draws during acceleration.
