Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
Each bagged pair includes one male XT60 connector, one female XT60 connector, and two rubberized protective boots. Wire is not included.
Do these connectors require soldering?
Yes. These connectors use solder-cup terminals and are designed to be soldered directly to your wire. They do not include crimp terminals or pre-installed wiring.
What can these connectors be used for?
XT60 connectors are suitable for custom solar cables, portable power station adapters, battery packs, portable refrigerators, DC fans, lighting, robotics, amateur radio equipment, and other DIY electronics projects.
They are also commonly used for RC cars, boats, drones, aircraft, and other hobby equipment.
Can these be used with portable power stations?
Yes. XT60 connectors are commonly used for solar charging cables and DC accessories for portable power stations from brands such as EcoFlow, Bluetti, and others.
Always verify the connector type, voltage limits, current limits, and required polarity for your specific power station before connecting it.
Can these be used for solar panels?
Yes. An XT60 connector pair can be used to create a quick-disconnect for a portable solar panel, solar extension cable, charge controller connection, or portable power station input cable.
XT60 connectors are not waterproof and should be protected from rain, moisture, and prolonged outdoor exposure.
What wire size should I use?
XT60 connectors are commonly assembled using 12 AWG (4mm²) wire. Other wire sizes may fit depending on conductor diameter, insulation thickness, required current, and the equipment being connected.
Always size the wire and circuit protection for the actual continuous load rather than relying only on the connector's maximum rating.
What do the protective boots do?
The rubberized boots slide over the rear of the connectors to cover the solder cups and exposed connections. They help insulate the terminals, reduce strain at the wire entry point, and provide a cleaner finished appearance.
Are XT60 connectors polarity protected?
Yes. The keyed male and female housings prevent the connectors from being plugged together in reverse.
Positive and negative polarity must still be verified during assembly before connecting batteries, solar equipment, portable power stations, or electronics.
