XT60 Female to DC Barrel Jack Adapter Lead | Compoden

Use this lead to power barrel-jack devices from an XT60 LiPo pack — XT60 female on the battery side, 5.5×2.1mm centre-positive barrel plug on the device side. Bridges hobby-grade 2S/3S LiPos to Arduino VIN, routers, LED strips, and motor-driver supplies without cutting connectors. Commonly used with 2S 7.4V and 3S 11.1V packs on robots and portable rigs. Not suitable for devices that can't accept the pack's full voltage — check the input range first; no regulation in the lead. Current ceiling: 5A maximum — the XT60 connector itself is 60A-class, but the 5.5×2.1mm barrel plug is the limiting element (~5A); do not use this lead to feed high-current motor loads directly. Key specs: XT60 female, 5.5×2.1mm centre-positive plug, 14–16AWG silicone wire, ~150mm, 5A max through-current (barrel-limited). Alternative: XT60-to-screw-terminal leads for driver boards with terminal blocks.
