XT60 socket with protective cap

XT60 socket with protective cap

Product description

The XT60 socket is a reliable high-current connector for LiPo batteries, RC models, and FPV drones. With a continuous current rating of up to 60 A and a short-term current rating of 100 A, it is suitable for high-power connections in model making.

The gold-plated contacts ensure a low contact resistance of approximately 0.005 ohms and enable low-loss current transmission. The solder terminals are easy to work with and are designed for wire gauges up to 4 mm² (AWG 11).

The reverse-polarity-protected housing, thanks to its special shape, prevents accidental reversal of positive and negative terminals when connecting. At the same time, the robust plastic housing protects the contacts and is temperature-resistant up to 160 °C.

With its compact dimensions of 20.2 × 15.5 × 8.1 mm, the XT60 female connector can be used effectively even in tight spaces. Whether for assembling LiPo battery cables, replacing a damaged connector, or setting up a new power connection—XT60 connectors are a tried-and-true staple in RC and FPV model building.
