XT60 connectors - all-rounders in the RC sector
Whether in a drone, an RC helicopter or in a remote-controlled car: the small and conspicuous yellow XT60 type connectors are used in the RC sector wherever high currents flow. They usually serve as a connector to the LiPo battery. These are usually already equipped with an XT60 element ex works.
Within a very short time, the plugs of the XT connector system have prevailed over competing products. We suspect that the triumphant success is due to the ingenious product design: the XT60 connector, just like the other connectors of the XT series, is encased in an extremely durable plastic and equipped with gold-plated and slotted contacts with a large contact area. In addition to this, the XT connectors come up trumps with half-open solder cups, which should help even complete soldering beginners to achieve quite passable soldering results.
