![]() Quoting Wikipedia on the melting point of solder for info on that. I'd follow up with manually checking the temps of the connector and wires after a hard flight to help verify that you'd estimated on the safe side.

Then pick a connector that gives you at least that amount of rating. If there isn't, I'd use worse case estimates like the max rating for the ESC as a starting place then add an additional 10-25% more for a safety overhead amount. With an airplane, it's relatively easy to get an amperage reading safely, I'm uncertain if there is a similar way on a heli. I strongly suspect the ones going up to 100a were only do that for very short bursts and weren't using them at anything close to a constant load. I probably wouldn't be too concerned using those connectors with up to 60a loads but I read a lot of folks really pushing it and going up to 100a. and because most if not all of my planes used 40a or less at 3s and 4s voltages. I had chose to use the larger Deans since it was a commonly used one at the club I was at allowing us to swap batteries easier. I think they didn't want to state a rating because they wanted to limit their liability and placed that responsibility on the user to ensure what they used worked in the situation they were being used in. The makers of the Deans connectors, never would rate their connectors for the reason that more than just the connector must be considered. what voltages and amperages ( as mentioned ) we are talking about and even the gauge and length of wire that is used. The fact are that they depend on how much the load is, how long the load is applied. is a highly debated and discussed subject. Saves a bit of hassle!īonus star, though, for including individually cut pieces of shrink tube.What a particular connector is safe to use at what voltage and amperage. It still works, but it's not as confidence-inspiring as the other brand when I'm moving 50 amps for hours on end.įWIW, the PRC connectors are a darker yellow than the other-branded ones from Bezos Empire.īonus star, though, for including individually cut pieces of shrink tube. ![]() I guess that's to be expected between brands, but I'd think an XT60 would be an XT60. Doing this with cotton-thin stranded silicone 12 AWG wires is a real pain in the arse.įinally, once assembled, I find that they make a looser connection with the other branded Bezos Empire XT60 connectors (described as an internal pin / externally a female socket) than mating two of the same brand. ![]() That's pretty bad.įurther, the cups are so shallow as to be difficult to hold a wire in place while soldering - the ones I picked up from the Bezos Empire had relatively deep cups that held the wire in place before soldering. Of the pack I got, one of the cups broke off when I rotated it with my cutters (as is typical before soldering), which meant that the machining put the cup so close to the socket, it just snapped out with very thin walls between the two features. Personally, I wouldn't buy these again - I bought them expecting higher quality from PRC, but what I got was. ![]()
