JST-BEC to XT60 adapter cable - 10 cm, female to male

Product Overview

• Adapter cable, 10 cm long
• Female JST-BEC connector to male XT60 connector
• Connects batteries with a BEC connector to devices with an XT60 input
• Reverse polarity protection through connector geometry
• Suitable for LiPo and LiFePo batteries

Product Description

The adapter cable bridges the incompatibility between two common battery connector standards. The JST-BEC connector is on the female side and accepts batteries equipped with this connector, while the XT60 connector on the male side connects to the power distribution system or device. The 10 cm cable provides just enough flexibility to allow the battery pack and load to be arranged in a space-saving manner when necessary.

The design uses the geometric precision of both connector types; reverse polarity is effectively prevented by their different shapes. The cable itself contains no electronics; it only transfers power. If you have batteries with a BEC connector but want to operate a device with an XT60 input, this cable eliminates the need for a separate adapter cable in the opposite direction.

These cables are typically used in model aviation, multirotor applications, and electric vehicle projects. In laboratory setups, the adapter cable also eliminates the need to solder a transition between standards when pre-assembled components with different connector histories are combined. It is important to connect only batteries with sufficient capacity and the appropriate number of cells to avoid overloading the cable.

The cable is designed for LiPo and LiFePo batteries. Its current-carrying capacity depends on the wire gauge. Before purchasing, check whether the current drawn by the intended battery is within the cable specifications to prevent overloading and resulting damage.

Safety Information

Lithium-polymer batteries require proper handling and must not be damaged, excessively heated, or charged incorrectly. The cable is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes; it is not designed for permanent integration into devices. Work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by qualified electricians. If you are uncertain about the correct wiring or current-carrying capacity, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
