Male JST battery pigtail 10cm length (10pcs/bag)

No, this connector will not fit an XT60 connector. XT60 is much bigger and can handle more amps.

By adding,suppose you mean solder xt60 on the end to make an adapter,sure can. Add any type you like to suit your purpose.

Its for battery

 PeteDee 189 points

It can be use for small batteries or any other connection where a JST connector is needed.

They are for battery.

Picture is male connector and that is what I received. Metal is visible on the top of the connector through the small ports. It is not visible on the female connector

Possible that there is a misunderstanding in the application I'm asked many did not come contrary to the requested

yes it is

Hooby king call this a Male connector however these are really female connectors (as the pins go into this - the male connector just has a shroud around it). Gender is assigned based on pins, not on housings.

The picture matches the discription they are not mixed up

This is a male - it goes inside the plastic of female housing

From HK sells these pins in two versions, male and female those in the photo are male. I will use many of them are perfect, the price is very good.

Mark Harris is absolutely correct. Electrical convention calls for the connector pins be categorized as 'male' and sockets as 'female'. The proper nomenclature is based on the current-carrying portion of the circuit, NOT on the housing portion! DUH!?!

The only question is, on this item (as well as the mating half) is it the Item Description that is wrong, or the picture? The GENIUSES that run this site frankly DO NOT KNOW and apparently do not care* the discrepancy has been reported to them and yet nothing has been changed. The only way to ensure you get the correct item is order both halves. Luckily they are inexpensive.

By the way, for all you people claiming the picture is correct as the 'male' half? Just look at the two halves of the XT60 connectors. THEY ARE PICTURED AND NAMED CORRECTLY. www.link www.link

The connector is male however the "pins" are female. Just buy both. You are going to use them in the long term anyway. Life is too short to worry over $1.48.

 starhopper 91 points

Since most HK LiPos come with XT60's, you'll find that as you convert planes/ESCs over to that system you'll use a lot more Male connectors. Why would I want to buy M/F pairs when I'm already overstocked on the Female half?

The reality of life is that the time it took to write the reply cost more than the cost of having spare connectors of the wrong type. Once you have both types and can see them on the bench then you can call them what you like so long as you order the right part number. I use them as complete links to connect bits of equipment I want to easily disconnect. As I said at 1.48 for 10 or 15cents each lets not worry too much about a nothing. Buy both.

I bought female (this one is male), and looks like either 20 or 18 gauge. I am using it for LED load (1 Amp swithing circuit), and have no problem at all. Excellent connector in my opinion)

 Michael 16 points

20 gauge

Male/Female refers to the conductor in the connector not the connector housing. Yes the plastic housing is male but the conductor in it is Female.

It's been 2 weeks since I ordered them, still no stock. Come on HK !!!

 Brenda 11 points

believe it is 14awg

 d_r_dan_c 15 points

20 AWG, says so on the wire. This theoretically limits the current to 11 A (see, e.g., ***********powerstream****/Wire_Size.htm )

 roberted5 104 points

I got 22AWG on mine and the insulation is plastic.

Which connector do I want for the battery lead?
