XT60 Connector

XT60 Connector

The XT60 connector is a high-current 2-pin power connector widely regarded as the industry standard for RC hobbies, drones, robotics, and electric vehicle applications. Originally popularized by AMASS, these connectors feature a polarized design with a secure snap-fit locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection under vibration and heavy loads. The gold-plated brass contacts ensure low resistance and efficient power transfer with minimal heat buildup, while the UL94V-0 flame-retardant nylon housing provides safety in high-current applications. Rated for 60A continuous current with peaks up to 120A, XT60 connectors offer a robust, reliable solution for demanding power applications in a compact, easy-to-use form factor.

Product Selling Points

 

1. High Current Capacity for Demanding Power Applications
Rated for 60A continuous and 120A peak - designed for high-power connections in battery systems, power supplies, electric vehicles, and industrial equipment. Delivers reliable power transmission without overheating or excessive voltage drop.

2. Ultra-Low Contact Resistance for Efficient Power Transfer
Contact resistance as low as 0.20–0.70 mΩ minimizes power loss and heat generation during high-current operation. Insulation resistance ≥2000 MΩ and dielectric withstand of 500V DC ensure safe electrical isolation for mission-critical power systems.

3. Premium Gold-Plated Contacts for Long-Term Reliability
Brass contacts with gold plating provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Solder cup termination supports 12–16 AWG wire, making termination straightforward and secure - ideal for custom cable assemblies and high-reliability installations.

4. High-Temperature Housing with UL94V-0 Flame Rating
High-temperature nylon housing with UL94V-0 flame rating ensures safety and durability in demanding environments. Rated at 500V DC, this 2-position connector is built for long service life in battery packs, power distribution units, and energy storage systems.

Applications

 

High-Current Power Connectivity for Demanding Applications

  • Drones & UAVs: The de facto standard for FPV racing drones and aerial photography platforms, connecting LiPo batteries to ESCs and power distribution boards. Handles high inrush currents during motor startup and sustained flight operations reliably.
  • RC Hobby & Vehicles: Widely used in RC cars, boats, airplanes, and helicopters for battery-to-ESC connections, providing secure, low-resistance power transfer that withstands vibration and high-G maneuvers.
  • Robotics & Automation: Deployed in industrial and hobby robotics for powering drive motors, servo systems, and control boards in autonomous robots and AGVs where reliable connections under load are critical.
  • Electric Vehicles & E-Mobility: Used in e-bikes, e-scooters, electric skateboards, and go-karts for battery pack interconnections and motor controller links, offering a compact solution for moderate-power EV applications.
  • Portable Power & Energy Storage: Integrated into portable power stations, solar generators, and battery banks where reliable high-current connections are needed for charging and discharging.
  • Industrial Equipment: Applied in industrial sensors, light automation systems, and testing equipment requiring robust power connections with good thermal management.
  • DIY Electronics & Prototyping: Popular among makers and engineers for custom power supplies, battery packs, and project builds due to easy soldering and reliable performance.

Star Reviews From Customers

 

1.Mike, drone racer in California
"These XT60s are pretty much the standard for all our racing drones. They handle 100A peaks without melting and the snap-fit is secure-never had one pop loose mid-flight. The genuine AMASS ones are definitely better than the cheap knockoffs that sometimes have loose pins. Only complaint is the yellow color, wish they made black ones for stealthier builds."


2.Priya, robotics engineer in Bangalore
"We use these on pretty much all our battlebots and industrial prototypes. The 60A continuous rating handles our drive motors fine. Had a batch once where the gold plating looked a bit thin, but the supplier replaced them quick. They're easy to solder if you're quick-if you linger too long the plastic can soften."


3.Yuki, FPV pilot in Tokyo
"XT60 is the standard for a reason. Lightweight enough for racing quads but handles serious power. I've pulled 80A peaks on 5S packs and they barely get warm. The anti-spark version is worth it for bigger builds-saves the connectors from pitting over time. Just make sure you get the real AMASS ones."


4.Wei, small factory owner in Shenzhen
"We use these in our portable power bank products. Quality is consistent across batches which matters for production. The 60A rating gives us good margin even though our actual load is only 30A. Delivery times have been reliable. Would recommend."


5.Alex, RC car enthusiast in Germany
"Been racing RC buggies for years and XT60s are the only connectors I trust. The locking mechanism is secure enough that they don't come loose from jumps and crashes. Only issue is sometimes they're hard to unplug-you need a good grip. But I'd rather have them too tight than too loose."
