Xt60 connector gauge2/27/2024 ![]() ![]() Tmob7wzug4- Ian Howson March 30, 2022īut in this case, the xt60 though it is cheaper gives almost the same performance as xt90. At high voltages it's easy to burn out the antispark resistor, and after that, the contacts. Medium effort Usage For 4 to 5 cell battery For 6 to 8 cell batteries Wire gauge 12 AWG 10 AWG Size 21.4 mm,20.8 mm 29.70 mm, 30.70 mmĪn XT90 'antispark' connector after about a dozen insertions. Here is a quick overview through a chart for your understanding of the difference between xt60 and xt90- Comparing features XT60 XT90 Amperage 60 amp 90 amp Installation It needs a bit of soldering. This part is essential for even the comparison of deans and xt60. XT60 Vs XT90: Brief Overviewįirst, let’s start with a quick comparison. To make things easier for you we’ve shown an in-depth difference between certain factors of the two connectors. Then the article will definitely be in your favour. If you’ve found the above argument reasonable. However, xt60 needs a bit of soldering but xt90 needs medium effort. This depends on what type of battery you are using and the amount of amperage it needs. These connectors can get your job done correctly and efficiently. So, which one should you go for when it comes to xt60 vs xt90?īetween xt60 and xt90 there isn’t much competition, both of them are great. It’s tough to make out the differences from the outer point of view. Quoting Wikipedia on the melting point of solder for info on that.When you look at an xt60 connector and an xt90 connector, the only difference you can see is their size. I'd follow up with manually checking the temps of the connector and wires after a hard flight to help verify that you'd estimated on the safe side. Then pick a connector that gives you at least that amount of rating. If there isn't, I'd use worse case estimates like the max rating for the ESC as a starting place then add an additional 10-25% more for a safety overhead amount. With an airplane, it's relatively easy to get an amperage reading safely, I'm uncertain if there is a similar way on a heli. I strongly suspect the ones going up to 100a were only do that for very short bursts and weren't using them at anything close to a constant load. I probably wouldn't be too concerned using those connectors with up to 60a loads but I read a lot of folks really pushing it and going up to 100a. and because most if not all of my planes used 40a or less at 3s and 4s voltages. ![]() I had chose to use the larger Deans since it was a commonly used one at the club I was at allowing us to swap batteries easier. I think they didn't want to state a rating because they wanted to limit their liability and placed that responsibility on the user to ensure what they used worked in the situation they were being used in. The makers of the Deans connectors, never would rate their connectors for the reason that more than just the connector must be considered. what voltages and amperages ( as mentioned ) we are talking about and even the gauge and length of wire that is used. The fact are that they depend on how much the load is, how long the load is applied. is a highly debated and discussed subject. What a particular connector is safe to use at what voltage and amperage.
