3pairs XT30 Plug XT-30 Male Female Connectors Cable with 16awg 10cm Slicone Wire for RC LiPo Battery FPV Turnigy/Zippy(CC12-3)

Product Information

However, most people choose adapters instead of soldering for convenience, which is a safety hazard. What are single-strand and multi-strand? If you don’t have any spare, these connectors are cheaply and widely available. Select balance lead based on the LiPo cell count, and use XT30 or XT60 depending on what’s on the parallel charging board. Products that weigh more than 0.5 KG may cost more than what's shown (for example, test equipment, machines, >500mL liquids, etc).

I agree as well... for anything 100-200 grams or so with 7-20A draw, they are the only choice. I started with them on my Tarot TL130; they turned a floaty, poky little porker into a tight little beast. Exceeding the rating of the wire can lead to several serious consequences, such as burnt ESC and silicone insulated wires, melted solder, and more. If we’re talking about RC planes, you’re likely to crash in flight because of this. Likewise, if the wires are too thin, the battery can’t provide enough power to the motor.To the extent that your personal data is processed on the grounds of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent. Withdrawal of consent has no bearing on the legitimacy of processing that was performed prior to the withdrawal.

When extending a capacitor in your FPV drone, the recommended wire gauge will depend on the size of the capacitor and the amount of current it will be handling. But in general, the length of the wires are more important than the wire gauge.My X8 octocopter won’t lift off when I add more payload to it. Right now the AUW is 15lbs (with no gimbal, cameras or FPV accessories). When I connect one battery it hovers fine but will only fly for a few mins, but when I add two batteries, in parallel, then due to the added weight it takes off for two seconds and lands hard as it starts yawing to the right.

There’s also voltage rating for electrical wires, but it’s usually not a concern for RC applications, since the voltage we are dealing with are well below 30V. The wires we use can tolerate much higher voltage (e.g. hundreds of volts or even higher). Where to Buy Silicon Electrical Wires However, recent test has shown that the XT30 connector can actually support a much higher continuous current of up to 60 amps without any problems, as long as the wires connected to it are large enough. This means that you can safely use an XT30 connector for applications that require higher currents, as long as you follow the appropriate safety precautions. It’s also important to avoid resting cables on top of the flight controller, apart from potentially causing interference, it could also be hitting the gyro which affect flight performance. Instead, try to route cables underneath or around the FC.Both connectors have a commendable lifespan, enduring over 1000+ cycles. However, in terms of temperature resistance, Deans slightly outdoes XT30, withstanding temperatures ranging from -20°C to 150°C, compared to XT30’s -20°C to 120°C. Conclusion Looking at the results, it’s clear that the PH2.0 (solid pin) connector falls short when compared to the others we tested. It demonstrated a higher voltage sag, primarily due to its higher resistance, which subsequently led to a marginal reduction in flight time as well.

XT30: Small-sized. Ideal for small drones, RC cars (1/16, 1/14 scale), RC planes under 1m wingspan, and 250-size quadcopters. Most suitable for 2S and 3S LiPo batteries with capacities below 1500mAh. Interestingly, the rest of the connectors – namely BT2.0, A30, GNB27, and XT30 – performed quite similarly when subjected to the 12A load. Given this, on a Tiny Whoop, you’re unlikely to perceive any noticeable differences between these connectors in the electrical performance. However, when weight becomes a factor, the A30 and BT2.0 connectors stand out as the clear winners. XT30 In general, the higher the AWG number, the thinner the wire. The lower the AWG number, the bigger the cable size and current capacity. The current rating of a wire is the maximum amount of current that it can safely handle without overheating or becoming damaged.

While it’s tempting to overcompensate and use larger connectors, it’s not always necessary and can add unnecessary weight to your drone. In some cases, it may even have a negative impact on your drone’s performance. For example, when it comes to micro drones such as Tiny Whoops, there’s a debate about whether XT30 connectors or BT2.0 / A30 connectors are the better option. While XT30 connectors have a lower resistance than PH2.0, BT2.0 and A30, but the benefits are hardly noticeable while it’s much heavier, some argue that BT2.0 and A30 are the optimal choices because they provide a good compromise between weight and performance. You can learn more about these connectors for micro drones in my testing: https://oscarliang.com/micro-battery-connectors-testing/ Finally, to help prevent damage to your battery lead solder joints during crashes, it’s recommended to secure the battery lead to the frame using zip ties. This provides stress relief and prevents pulling the solder joints during a crash. More Info and Discussion On the other hand, the XT60 connector has also been put to the test, and it has been found that it can safely handle burst currents of up to 180 amps for 10 seconds without any problems. This makes it a reliable choice for a typical FPV drones without the need to upgrade to heavier and bulkier connectors. XT60 Connectors There is no patent on the XT30 connector, we hope this product is sold everywhere in the world and dominates the market, reducing customer dependency on the over-priced and underperforming alternatives for this amp class.
