Description
Overview
Ultra-soft 10A adaptor cable converting an XT60 plug to a DC 5.5×2.5mm or 5.5×2.1mm barrel connector. The highly flexible silicone lead is intended for tight installations and field repair, where a stiff cable would strain the connector or the board.
Specifications
- One end: XT60 male or female
- Other end: DC 5.5×2.5mm or DC 5.5×2.1mm male or female
- Rated current: 10A
- Wire: ultra-soft silicone, highly flexible
- Colours: red (positive), black (negative)
Purpose
An XT60 battery feeding a device with a DC barrel input needs a translation lead. The “ultra-soft” cable matters in practice: in a multirotor or a handheld, a stiff lead transmits vibration and pull directly into the solder joint, which is a common failure point. A flexible lead absorbs that movement.
Applications
- FPV multirotors — powering DC-input accessories from an XT60 pack
- Field repairs where a compact flexible adaptor is needed
- Powering monitors, receivers and ground stations from LiPo packs
- Bench testing DC devices from XT60 batteries
How to Use
- Confirm the barrel size — 5.5×2.1mm and 5.5×2.5mm look alike but do not interchange reliably.
- Check the gender of both ends against your battery and device.
- Verify polarity before connecting: centre pin is normally positive, but confirm on your device.
- Keep the load within 10A.
- Support the cable near the connector so vibration is not carried into the joint.
