EC8 Gold-Plated LiPo Battery Connector (Male / Female)

EC8 is a high-current power connector with 8 mm gold-plated bullet contacts in an insulated housing, used on large LiPo packs, ESC leads and power wiring on heavy-lift drones and big RC models.

Key features

• The male version carries the pins and the female version the sockets; one of each makes a mating pair
• Gold plating keeps contact resistance low and resists corrosion on high-current joints
• Sold singly, so you can replace just the damaged half of a battery or ESC lead

Specifications

• Connector type: EC8
• Contacts: 8 mm gold-plated bullets
• Options: male (pin) or female (socket), sold individually

The large contacts pull heat away from the joint quickly, so use a high-wattage iron with a broad tip and tin the wire well before soldering. Order one male and one female if you are fitting a new battery-to-ESC pair.
