Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is an EC5 banana plug connector and what is it used for?

A: An EC5 connector is a 5mm gold-plated banana plug standard widely used in RC vehicles, LiPo battery packs, and high-current circuit builds. The male and female bullet design allows for quick, secure connections between battery packs and electronic speed controllers (ESCs) or power distribution boards, supporting up to 40A rated and 100A peak current.

Q: What wire gauge is compatible with these EC5 connectors?

A: These EC5 connectors are recommended for use with 10 AWG silicone or stranded wire, which is the most common gauge for high-current RC battery applications. Using the correct wire gauge ensures optimal current flow and minimises heat buildup at the connection point.

Q: Can I use these connectors with any RC vehicle or battery?

A: These EC5 connectors are compatible with RC cars, trucks, boats, drones, and aircraft that use EC5-standard battery connectors. Please note they are not designed for use in RC models powered by a single battery cell — they are best suited for multi-cell LiPo or similar battery packs with EC5 ports.
