How long have you been using that dean connector?Older plugs can cause more resistance.You could also try Astro Flight Zero Loss Connector

The link you posted was for some DDR memory, but I looked it up and the specs are lower than Deans. They state that they have less resistance than an equiv. piece of 14 gauge, Deans lists the same as 12Ga.

The plug I'm using (was using) on my ESC wasn't too old. And it wasn't getting noticeably hot, certainly no warmer than the battery. I'll do some testing when I get my MMM fixed up and back in play.

hi,

you can continue guessing...

...or go to this page, it might be the answer for your questions (it's NOT a shop):

http://www.elektromodellflug.de/hoch...romstecker.htm

it's in german, but at least you can read the figures.

I would call this guy a guru regarding RC-Electronics (chargers, batteries etc).

I have just ordered myself some golden 5,5mm plugs, and some fat 6 mm˛ cables (especially for motor-esc).

the 5,5 mm bullet plugs I've bought are affordable, u get them for around eur 2,60 a pair.

but yes, it's worth to invest in good connectors.

They cost 3 euro for 1 pair

I never gonna buy such expensive connectors. For me: "Wannabe/Chinese" Deans and Hobbycity 5.5mm Goldconnectors

The real deans are gold plated. The copies aren't. Maybe this explains y the real deans are better?

These plugs look exactly like those zero loss plugs for audio speakers that i have used more than ten years back.

yep, and the metal spring/the thing that tightens the fit, is also different. the chinese has a "flat" one, the deans has a "curve", which are easier to plug in. after 2 years of use, the deans have lost their gold plating. I think there are different qualities within "chinese" deans. left the chinese, right the original (at least I think so...):

The biggest concern I have with bullet connectors as battery connection is that even if you heat shrink them they will never be as safe from shorting as deans/trx plugs. Only way to solve this is to find some type of plastic casing that the bullet plugs fit into, similar to the HC Turnigy packs

That's what EC3 and EC5 connectors are...

Get me back into RC!
