Does this item replace the need for a power distribution board?
murad  10 points - 3/24/2013
 
I have a question,apart from using it to power four esc.Can this be connected to a single high amp esc and power 4 motors?
 Daniel 2 points
Yes it is possible Lets say each motor draws 10 amps one could get away with a 40 amp ECS but I would use a 50 amp ESC to be on the safe side
 Sebastian 5 points
Only if you have a brushed motor setup, It ist NOT possible for multiple brushless motors to be driven from the same ESC

Whats the maximum power battery can this handle?
 Shunra1 95 points
You can use any battery you want, but i would recommend keeping the current under 70 amps continuous, 100 amps peak.

How do i calculate the amps of battery?
 Sergio 13 points
this adapters are limited for the 4mm connector, and is rated to around 93A, so 80-85amps continuos for short time looks great.
 Shunra1 95 points
1) The maximum amps the battery can deliver is calculated by multiplying the capacity times the C rating. For example:
A 2.2Ah battery with a 30C rating will be able to deliver 2.2*30 = 66 Amps
A 3000mAh(=3.0Ah) battery with a 50C rating will be able to deliver 3.0*50 = 150 Amps.

2) The amount of amps the system will use depends on your choice of motor and ESC, the amount of amps the motor will use is usually listed in the specs of the motor
 Sergio 13 points
I agree with you Shunra1, i only add this: if you use a 2.2Ah and your consumption is 2.2Ah it will have a duration of 1 hrs, theorically because you can´*t leave at 0 the bat. if your consumption is 2.2Ah*30c your bat has a duration of 1/30 hrs.

can this b used for tri-copter?
 karan 395 points
yes, ofcourse it is made for multies!!!!
 Kellyann 16220 points
B this is what it is made for. Well a Quad. But just blank off one connector. I hope we help.
 Pela.91 3 points
Absolutely yes! That are great connector!
medievil1959  36 points - 4/9/2012
 
whats the AMP rating, as i suspect it may only be 60amps
 majik01 2650 points
Tested at 60 burst 100 for ten seconds. For 160 the 6mm sprung gold connectors would be perfect. Definitely not for monster quads with 50A per motor or more.

THANKS, LOOKING AT QUAD WITH 35AMP PER MOTOR. LOOKS LIKE THE SOLUTION
 majik01 2650 points
Your quad will use 35A per motor? Dude that must be crazy big!
akcoral  16 points - 2/13/2012
 
Hello*
does the original design from GAUi also use 4mm or 3.5 mm on battery side?
 RodrigoSa 13 points
the female side is 3.5mm and the male is 4mm
cavallobianco  5 points - 2/5/2012
 
salve qualcuno sa dirmi come si uniscono i 4 esc al controller?grazie
Gertjuh  27 points - 1/7/2012
 
zSimon  29 points - 1/2/2012
 
To complete: Buy your choice of XT60, WS Deans, or Banana (lol please dont use banana!) pigtails and female 4mm x 2. Get out the solder gun and enjoy the tidy setup. Cheers.
letes  12 points - 1/1/2012
 
Could anybody explain me for what is used for?
 gouldie 401 points
you would use it to plug in four escs into one battery on a quadcopter
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 roger123 121 points
your esc need to be parallel so this save you time and simplicity
 RodrigoSa 13 points
or plugin multiple chargers...
Jodde73  166 points - 12/31/2011
 
Why not direct to a male XT60 or EC4/5?
 Kellyann 16220 points
Jodde why do you not show us what you mean and make a video and post it. I is nice to see new ideas. Or you could post your idea in the DIY forum.
roboforcerX2000  167 points - 12/31/2011
 
I would not recommend any plugs for multicopters, best way is to solder directly
 Kellyann 16220 points
Ok so you maen hard wire every thing?? Even battery?
 roboforcerX2000 167 points
Leave the battery:) Only by soldering everything you will be 100% sure your connection will not brake, or get loose from vibration. And you will save weight, that is 5 sets of connectors per motor
 Kellyann 16220 points
So leave the battery??? So do not hard wire the Batteries OK. Thanks I wisk I credit you sorry
 roger123 121 points
am not agree with that , if you use lots of esc like my x8 i need 8 esc and if you need to repair your machine of a faulty esc or just tune the esc you can remove fast and fix the problem also i have no lose because i use piece of shrink to secure the connector and it take only fews second to removed if needed
3w_flyer  52 points - 12/30/2011
 
I would like to see a picture without the shrinking tube.
and why from 4 x 3,5 to 4mm
just go from 4x4mm to 1x4mm
 Sloperdude 1309 points
?? If you need 4 x 4mm, you would need a larger battery terminal.
 spitfire2010 640 points
4mm is used because it will supply 4 ESC, however, you can very safely use 3.5mm connectors feeding each esc as it is 1/4 of the current being fed through the 4mm connector.
 Sloperdude 1309 points
spitfire2010, I was referring to what 3w flyer wrote. "why from 4 x 3,5 to 4mm just go from 4x4mm to 1x4mm" The problem is that if he needs 4x4mm to go to the 4 ESCs, his current (Amp) load is probably too high to be fed into the one male 4mm connector. An analogy would be if you were installing a sub electrical breaker panel to your home's main breaker box and the sub box had four 15 Amp circuits, you wouldn't connect the sub box to the main box with 14 gauge wire, you'd use 10 or 8 gauge wire.
 3w_flyer 52 points
I mean, like most of us I want simplicity. So i use 4mm for everything. If i always have to switch connectors like HK does, the fun will be gone soon.
 Sloperdude 1309 points
"If i always have to switch connectors like HK does, the fun will be gone soon." Take heart little buddy, the fun is in flying. Don't let a few connectors get you down.
zaskarkid  343 points - 12/30/2011
 
forget the smelly heli, I'd use this on my quad airliner
 Kellyann 16220 points
Very nice Cool 2012
mr>buzzy  71 points - 12/30/2011
 
How about making these with 4x 4mm female. Would be a very cheap breakout box for multiple chargers.
 Freewind 111 points
I would use these ANY TIME in my Quadro's. Up until now I made them myself, but these or nice, And I believe these can handdle the current without a problem !For this price you can't can't heat up your Iron en solder them yourself

This is a nice solution to the power distribution problem. Make sure you get the 4mm and 3.5mm connectors to match though.

Un buen invento para los cuad,
y para usar baterias en paralelo
sin cable es mas cómodo y utilizas mucho menos espacio.
Buen invento.
