RC Connector

The Foundation of a Secure Electrical Connection

In the world of RC, the RC Plug (or connector) is the critical interface between your battery, ESC, and charger. Choosing the right plug is essential for maintaining low resistance, preventing heat buildup, and ensuring your vehicle receives maximum power during high-demand maneuvers.

Choosing the Right Connector

Different RC disciplines require different plug styles based on amperage needs and space constraints:

• XT Series (XT30, XT60, XT90): Currently the industry standard. These “sheathed” connectors are famous for their secure grip, ease of soldering, and spark-resistant designs. XT60 is the most common for 1/10 scale, while XT90 handles high-voltage 6S+ setups.

• Deans (T-Plug): A classic, compact choice known for its low profile. It remains a favorite for small-to-midsize builds where space is at a premium.

• EC/IC Series (EC3, EC5, IC3, IC5): Popularized by Horizon Hobby, these feature bullet-style pins inside a protective housing. The “IC” variants support Smart Technology, allowing the battery to communicate data directly to the charger or ESC.

• Bullet Connectors: Used primarily in competition racing for “hard-case” batteries. They offer the lowest possible resistance by plugging directly into the battery ports, typically in 4mm or 5mm sizes.

• JST & Micro Plugs: Specifically designed for low-current applications like LED light kits, fans, and micro-drones.

Quality & Safety

Poorly made plugs can lead to “brownouts” or even fire hazards. Our connectors feature gold-plated copper for superior conductivity and high-temp nylon housings that won’t melt during heavy soldering or high-speed runs.
