FAQs

What is the gauge of the wire included with this adaptor?

The adaptor comes with 10-gauge (10G) wire, which is suitable for handling high current loads common in hobby applications.

Can this adaptor be used for charging batteries?

While it facilitates power transfer, it's primarily designed as a bridging adaptor for direct component connection. For charging, ensure your charger and battery system are compatible with an XT90 connection and that this adaptor is used appropriately within that setup.

Is the XT90 connector itself the same size as other XT90 connectors?

Yes, this adaptor uses the standard XT90 connector size, ensuring compatibility with other XT90 male connectors.

What hobby applications is this adaptor best suited for?

It is ideal for radio control models (cars, boats, planes), Scalextric and Hornby electric racing sets, and other hobby projects requiring a secure, high-current power connection.

Do I need to solder the wire myself?

The adaptor comes with the 10G wire pre-attached to the XT90 female connector. You will need to connect the other end of the wire to your desired component or power distribution system, which may involve soldering or using crimp connectors.

What is the main advantage of using an XT90 connector?

XT90 connectors are designed for high-current applications, offering a secure, low-resistance connection that is less prone to melting or failure compared to smaller connectors when handling significant power.

Troubleshooting

No power connection after connecting adaptor.

Verify that the XT90 connectors are fully seated and correctly polarized. Check the integrity of the wire connections to the receiving end and ensure the power source is active and functional.

Intermittent power loss during operation.

Inspect the XT90 connection for any debris or corrosion. Ensure the wire connections are secure and that the components being powered are not exceeding the current rating of the adaptor's wire.

XT90 connector feels loose.

Gently check for any damage to the XT90 housing or internal contacts. If damaged, replacement may be necessary. Ensure the male XT90 connector being used is standard and not oversized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates high-current power transfer.
  • Includes pre-attached 10G wire for convenience.
  • Secure XT90 connection reduces risk of disconnection.
  • Suitable for a range of popular hobby applications.

Cons

  • Specific XT90 connector may not be universally compatible without additional adapters.
  • Primarily for bridging, not for creating new wiring runs from scratch without further modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Etronix Female XT90 Bridging Adaptor, connect the XT90 female end to the male XT90 component (e.g., battery, ESC). The pre-attached 10G wire should then be connected to the corresponding power input or distribution point, typically via soldering or appropriate crimp connectors, ensuring correct polarity.

Compatibility: This adaptor is specifically designed for components featuring XT90 male connectors. It is widely compatible with radio control vehicles, drones, electric scooters, and other hobby projects that utilize XT90 power connectors. Ensure that the connected devices also support the current capacity of the XT90 connector and the 10G wire.

Care: Keep the adaptor clean and free from debris. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. Periodically inspect the connector and wire for any signs of damage or wear. Cleaning can be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; ensure the adaptor is completely dry before use.
