im a little confused as to what connectors are named and how they look. Can anyone send me pictures and the proper names of the various connectors. I’m new to this electric world and don’t want to spend money on things I don’t need. Unfortunately I’ve made the mistake in the past. Looking forward to your responses....thanks guys.....TAZZZZ

Do you know what cell count you're going to be using?

tazzzz

Yeah,,,I’m using 2 and 3 cell lipos,,,from what I gather deans and star connectors are the same? TAZZZZ

The Star Plug has a slew of nifty features and is compatible with Deans connectors.

Thanks for the comeback, but I need just a little more information than that,,,although is very interesting. TAZZZZ

Star Plugs and Dean Ultra Plugs are two differently shaped connectors, but will work with each other. Like mushia said, they're compatible. Simple as that. What more info do you need?....Star Plug

I just want visual on everything,,,there are so many types on the market,,,,now I have to figure out x60 and x90 connection. I don’t know the difference. Just asking is all. .....nothing more. Thanks. TAZZZZ

You would use the 90 on a higher cell count and heavier gauge wire.

Look at your battery, Gauge 20awg or smaller is JST territory, 16-18awg use XT30, 12-14awg use XT60, ec3 or deans, 8-10awg use xt90 or ec5. I use 4mm bullets for my F3a planes that draw 75-80A.
note- Amp draw is only thing that dictates wire gauge, not watts. Therefore pack voltage (cell count) doesn't matter.

Google will be much more convenient: https://www.google.com.hk/search?new....0.BK0uFY6-r-0

Thankyou Mushia,,,,,just what I’ve been looking for. It goes to show you that pictures are STILL worth a thousand words.

To make sure we got this situation under control, somebody please pull up a picture of a Star Plug and a Dean's Ultra Plug connected together .
