Simplify your soldering jobs with this pre-wired Spektrum IC5 Battery Connector. This "pigtail" features a factory-installed IC5 connector attached to high-quality silicone wire, eliminating the difficult task of soldering large gauge wire into the connector housing yourself.
This component is designed to be soldered onto a Battery Pack. Whether you are repairing a damaged connector on an existing LiPo or converting a generic battery to work with the Spektrum Smart ecosystem, this pigtail provides a professional, factory-clean connection point.
Key Features
-
Pre-Wired Convenience: The connector comes pre-soldered to 4 inches of wire. You simply splice or solder these wires to your battery tabs/wires, rather than struggling to heat up the massive bullets inside the plastic housing.
-
Spektrum Smart Ready: Includes the integrated Grey Data Wire. If you are building a custom Smart Battery (using Spektrum Smart chips), this wire carries the telemetry data.
-
Note: If you are installing this on a standard (non-Smart) battery, you can simply snip the grey wire off or fold it back; the connector will still function perfectly as a high-current power plug.
-
-
High-Current Handling: Uses thick 10 AWG Silicone Wire, capable of handling the high amperage demands of 1/8 scale buggies, monster trucks, and large aircraft.
-
Heat Resistant: The silicone insulation won't melt when you solder the splice, ensuring a safe and durable connection.
-
Backwards Compatible: While this is an IC5 connector, it is physically compatible with older EC5 device connectors.
