Description
Overview
Adaptor cable converting an XT60 plug to a DC 5.5×2.1mm or 5.5×2.5mm barrel connector, for feeding DC-input equipment from an XT60 lithium battery pack.
Specifications
- One end: XT60 male or female
- Other end: DC 5.5×2.1mm or 5.5×2.5mm, male or female
- Variants: XT60 male to 5525 female, XT60 female to 5525 male, XT60 female to 5521 male, XT60 male to 5521 male, and further male/female combinations
- Wiring: red (positive), black (negative)
Purpose
It lets an XT60 pack power devices that were built around a DC barrel input — routers, monitors, radios, LED drivers — without making up a lead by hand. Because both the XT60 gender and the barrel size vary between devices, the multiple variants let you match exactly rather than add a second adaptor.
Applications
- Powering DC equipment from LiPo or Li-ion packs
- Field power for radios, monitors and ground stations
- Bench testing devices with barrel inputs
- Portable and emergency power setups
How to Use
- Confirm the barrel size (5.5×2.1 or 5.5×2.5) and the XT60 gender you need.
- Check polarity: the barrel centre is usually positive, but verify on the device.
- Confirm the device’s input voltage matches your battery — an XT60 pack may be 2S to 6S, far above a 12V device.
- Connect the XT60 first, then the barrel; disconnect in the reverse order.
- Do not exceed the current rating of the barrel connector.
