XT60 Male and Female Connector
An XT60 connector consists of mating male and female components.
The correct connector arrangement depends on the equipment design.
Before connecting a battery:
Always verify polarity and connector wiring.
Incorrect polarity can damage the battery, controller or connected equipment.
XT60 Connector Installation
A typical solder installation involves:
- Select the correct wire gauge.
- Confirm positive and negative polarity.
- Strip the wire.
- Tin the wire.
- Tin the connector terminals.
- Solder the wires.
- Apply suitable insulation/heat-shrink.
- Check for shorts.
- Verify polarity using a multimeter.
- Perform a final connection inspection.
XT60 for Lithium Battery Packs
A typical connection can be:
Lithium Battery Pack → XT60 → Controller
or:
Charger → XT60 → Battery Pack
For a custom battery pack, the XT60 connector should be selected according to:
- Battery voltage
- Continuous current
- Peak current
- Charging current
- Wire gauge
- Connector manufacturer rating
- Operating temperature
XT60 vs XT90
| Feature | XT60 | XT90 |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Compact | Larger |
| Typical Application | Small/medium power | Higher-power applications |
| Installation | Compact | More robust |
| Current Rating | Variant-dependent | Variant-dependent |
| Common Uses | Drones, RC, batteries | High-current battery systems |
For high-current EV or industrial battery packs, a higher-rated connector may be more appropriate than XT60.
