Title: XT60...who manufactures them?
Post by: Jakalas on November 18, 2016, 05:57:00 PM
Just wonder if anyone knows if there is a specific company that manufacture these, as it would seem that the majority are found either on eBay or HobbyKing (apart from the standard UK RC retailers).

Would have thought that something like this would have been picked up by companies like Farnell or RS already...

Don't know who produces them but Bruce Simpson from RC Models Reviews on YouTube did a section on the XT-60's from Hobbyking and was less than impressed with the plastic giving way when the solder was put on.

If you join a male and female together while you solder the leads it will help stop the plastic deforming.

I believe that that video was on their new XT60-U connectors
