    No need to cool down the wire before tinning the connector side. Also moving it around (or squeezing it) while it's still warm may cause cracking inside the joint. As you are working, the heat is transferring away from the joint; the faster you work, the less damage you have to adjoining components like the connector body or the wire insulation. Whenever possible apply the heat to the opposite side of the joint from where you add the solder. The will ensure it's warm enough for the solder to flow everywhere inside the joint to make a complete connection.

    I haven't been soaking enough solder into the wire! That's where my problems have come from. Thanks for making that clear!

    I'm glad you pointed out not to cut both battery wires at the same time. I feel like that's one mistake you just saved me from. I have anderson 50SB connectors on a 48v ebike battery. If I ever need to change guys, I need to remember this. thanks a ton.

    Adding my compliments to everyone else's. This is an excellent soldering job and tutorial. Too many other videos here get it completely wrong. Cold solder joints abound. Your technique is excellent. I'd let you solder a connector for me any day.

    Thanks, this really helped soldering my two batteries. However, taking off my finished battery from the steel clamp that I used, I touched the clamp with the exposed contacts from the rear end of the male connector causing short circuit. So with the second battery, I first insulated these contacts with some heatshrink tube (battery still seem to work well by the way).

  • @sreekumarUSA

    Thank you for the info. I have soldered many a XT-60 connectors and not once I have I coupled the male & the female XT-60s together, while soldering. The soldering tip temperature read as 350C. All I did was, one drop of KESTER 951 and use 60/40 Lead to pre-tin the wire end of the connector fairly well. The 16~14 AWG silicone Black & Red cable were also pre-tinned using Kester 951, (in place of solid rosin). Then the cable end of the connector was heated to melt the lead and inserted the Silicone cable into it. And after seeing the both ends were satisfactorily fused, removed the Iron and puffed on it so solidify the joint. All the above procedure took about 5 seconds or less.
    Not once did I melt the GUNINE XT-60 (AMASS Brand) But Once I melted the whole “duplicate” XT-60 Connector, that was bought from a fraudulent seller on eBay, who was reported and refund obtained. So be aware of GENINE XT-60 AMASS Brand when buying XT-60 that doesn’t require coupling of male & female connectors while soldering. There are several colours available, Black, Yellow, Blue. You may also obtain only female XT-60 connectors, if need be.
    I’d pay tribute to KESTER 951, by all means, for the clean flow of 60/40. Please try Kester 951 which is sold on eBay.
    Please do understand that, I was not trying to contradict your style of soldering. With due respect......

  • @seanpain4
    @seanpain4 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    One tip, when getting the terminal and wire ready to solder, only tin them just enough, then when putting them together feed some more solder into it until it is the right amount. If you put too much solder on then have to remove some, the process of reheating then cooling only some of the solder can cause a weaker joint. Other than that, great :)

    • @FranklinHarding

    • @Iceberg86300
      @Iceberg86300 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@FranklinHarding yeah, I avoid explicitly tinning any connector when at all possible.
      Dip both the wire & connector in flux, tin the wire & go directly into the connector. Connector may become tinned from the dab of solder on the iron to promote heat transfer, but that's it. Feed some solder if necessary.
      Not taking the time to tin the connector keeps the wire from cooling & that retained heat means the iron is heating the connector for as little time as possible.

    I'm converting several models to these connectors. Seems every few years a new trend in connectors comes along.
    You may want to grab one of those clip-on heat sinks- clip it to the exposed end of the 'empty' connector opposite the one you're soldering and it will pull the heat through and away from the plastic.

    You want those little solder globs or spikes. The solder globs hold on to the shrink tubes. Flux the wire and XT60 connector after you tin and before you solder on the wire. This excess flux provides for good solder flow.

  • @AndyPorter79
    @AndyPorter79 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Your wire diameter should never exceed your connecter terminal width or diameter. Use bigger connectors for larger wires. They make XT30 XT60 and XT90 for this reason. When your connector terminals are smaller width/diameter than your wire, you create a hot spoke where the amps basically get "choked" through too small of a guage terminal.

    Try not to have excess led from the start to avoid sucking it back up. If you do you should reheat the entire lead. Try not to move the connectors, anytime you do the lead turn matt, it should be shiny. Great tip for XT60 and I love the jig and I too use the soldering iron to heat my shrink tubes (which we both know we shouldn't). Thanks for sharing.

    OMG... I am sorry, but you used TOO much solder, which also lead to TOO much heat on that connector. Soldering should be 3-5 second deal... You should not pre-fill the connector with all that solder because then you are going to have to heat that crap back again... Do it in one motion... Tin the wire, put it in the connector and in one shot fill the connector with a reasonable amount of solder...

  • @Flysimware
    @Flysimware 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Make sure you put a bit extra solder on the wire. I normally put none on the XT60. Then i only set the tip on the top and press the wire down. The extra solder help transfer the heat around the wire rather than heat the wire itself. Putting too little will overheat the wire and not solder causing issues. The posts that say this guy does not know what he is dong is actually backwards and they do not understand that the extra solder is needed. I do agree since he added some solder to the XT60 as well he was slightly heavy on the solder. But better to have too much than too little. You can drip off the excess from the bottom which has not effect on holding the wire.

    hey, i have used a 30w iron to. What solder are you using? Yes a hotter iron well help it melt faster. What i do with the 30w iron is plug it in and let i set for 30mins so it gets really hot. Also take a old blade or something and scrape the solder iron tip once is hot. that usually cleans up the tip great and helps transfer the heat. But if you are doing any amount of soldering a nice 50-60w iron is great. I got mine on ebay for 40 dollars 4 years ago and love it.:)

    Thanks for an excellent vid. Wondering what temp you are using on your fine tip? I have had problems where the plastic melts, hence shifting the position of the terminals.

Just a heads up on that one.

    The reason some batteries come with that big connector is, XT-60 is only rated up to 80A. Bigget batteries usually allow for pulling way more than 80A, hence the big connector.

    Is your stand with thick metal cylinders which you are using to clamp the wire while pre-tinning hand-made or I can get a similar one somewhere?

      +Andrey Mironov If someone's curious just like me, it is called "Mr. Grippy" and you can get one from eBay :-) Thanks for sharing such an awesome tool, mate.
      P.S. Actually, it's available from Hobby King and seems to be their invention. The only problem was to guess the name.

    What temp do you run your iron?

    XT suck the plastic holder gets soft you can hear the plastic sizzling in there. If you have a short wire put heat shrink on with in a few inches where your soldering and it shrinks when you solder it. EC3 and EC5 are way better and easier connect no heat shrink to bother with if you heat the blue plastic part up with a heat gun little it clicks right in with little force.

    if you cool the sorter too quick it's not going to stick properly let it cool by itself take a wet paper towel and wipe around the insulation on the wire to keep it cool but let the end it by itself

    can u please help me. My loop to connect to 2 2 cell batteries to my rc car popped off. While car was running. Will that cause a spark? Or will it just break the circuit? My car caught on fire, burning the ESC and the servo and the one of the batteries. I'm trying to find out the cause of the fire. I drove my car for 2 min before it caught on fire.

      It's dc current. You can touch them just fine.
