FLY RC XT60I Connectors 5 Pair Male Female with Signal Pin for RC Batteries
The FLY RC XT60I Connectors (model XT60iPW) are a set of 5 male and 5 female plugs designed for high-amp RC applications. They feature brass gold-plated contacts, handle up to 60A instantaneous current, and include a signal pin for compatibility with smart batteries and chargers. These connectors are commonly used with RC lipo batteries, drones, airplanes, cars, portable power stations, and e-bikes.
What's in the Pack
You receive 5 pairs of XT60I connectors: 5 male plugs (XT60H male) and 5 female plugs (XT60H female), totaling 10 pieces. Each connector comes with a protective sheath housing.

Key Design Details
The XT60I connectors feature a half-open end design that makes soldering easier compared to fully closed housings. The inclusion of a signal pin allows these plugs to communicate battery information with compatible chargers and controllers. The high-temperature nylon material provides reliable insulation and meets UL94 V0 flame resistance standards.
Where to Use These Connectors
These connectors are built for applications drawing 30–60A continuous current. Common uses include connecting ESCs to motors in RC cars, drones, and airplanes; linking batteries to chargers; and wiring portable power stations or solar panel setups. The 60A peak rating gives a comfortable margin for most hobbyist and mid-power systems.
Common Questions About XT60I Connectors
What is the difference between XT60 and XT60I?
The XT60I adds a signal pin (center pin) that can transmit battery data, such as cell voltage or temperature, to a smart charger or controller. Standard XT60 connectors lack this pin.
What wire size should I use?
The manufacturer recommends 12 AWG wire for optimal current handling. This gauge balances flexibility and ampacity for 30–60A loads.
What temperature range can these handle?
They are rated for continuous operation from -20°C to 120°C (-4°F to 248°F), making them suitable for most indoor and outdoor RC use.
How durable are these connectors?
The spec lists 1000 mating cycles, which means they can be plugged and unplugged about 1000 times before wear becomes a concern.
