How To Solder XT60 Connector Without Damaging It | Tips and Tricks 

Check out this video on soldering XT60 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eM1aPLSbJFQ.html

You made it look easy peasy. It took me more than an hour to solder a XT60 connector 😅

I normally leave more metal wire exposed so i can push it deeper inside the xt60

I think best method I've seen so far.

Why not make the bare copper on the wire longer and solder it even deeper inside the connector? Im genuinely asking your opinion. Because after having mostly Deans connectors which are pretty straightforward to solder and easy to make a strong connection small and neat even with thicker wires. The first XT60 i did before i realized or looked at any DIYs, that no one else was putting the wire anywhere near the inside like i did lol. Just on the area like the video with not too much wire needed inside. I had made the stripped wires the perfect length to just reach just near the end and i filled the whole thing in with solder afterwards after tinning both. I mean the connection was fine & was solid, it was for an ESC so i figured it couldn't hurt, and i wanted to see how it would come out like that and maybe be able to get alittle more power thru the connector idk.. I do it like this now too but sometimes I wonder why the made the holes so deep if theyre not meant to be soldered into idk..

👏Marvelous soldering.

Very useful video 👏

Is there a straight wire connecter that can handle the watts/amps of a xt60? Sort of, if you could cut a xt60 in half, allowing each wire to move independently. Backstory: I bought a board, has to be assembled. Can't connect the battery to the Controller Box as the xt60 is too large to make it through the cable hole connector. They told me that I need to clip off the xt60, run it through, then somehow reattach. Thanks.

Can you push the wire all the way in?

I would add a chisel tip and some flux. Take the contact time in half. Less heat is better. Nice tho! This was my biggest struggle. With 6s being so popular now I kno there are people out there who struggle soldering thicker wires to a ESC. I see it almost every day online. Lol Always someone asking why it wont work and it looks like the ESC got forge welded! LOL

Where do u get the black end caps i bought 3 packages of xt60s and no wire caps

clean

Bro which soldering iron are you using

would a male xt60-h connector like the one here work with a female normal xt-60 and vice versa?

What gauge wire?

which temperature?

I can't seem to find a video where you solder the other end onto a board like maybe a ebike controller board
