Amass T-Plug Extension Cable (Male to Female) - 10cm 14AWG Silicone Wire with Safety Sheath

Specifications

• Connector A: Amass T-Plug Male (Device Side).

• Connector B: Amass T-Plug Female (Battery Side).

• Insulation Type: Rigid Plastic Sheath (Housing) - No Heat Shrink.

• Wire Gauge: 14AWG.

• Wire Material: Tinned Copper with Soft Silicone Insulation.

• Length: 10cm (approx. 4 inches).

• Current Rating: 40A Continuous / 70A Burst.

• Temperature Rating: -60°C to +200°C.

Key Applications & Projects

• RC Cars & Trucks: Perfect for reaching the ESC in 1/10 scale buggies, where the battery tray is far from the controller.

• Fixed Wing Aircraft: Extend battery leads in fuselages to adjust the Center of Gravity (CG) without straining wires.

• Charging Safety: Use as a "Sacrificial" extension for your charger. Wear out the cheap cable's contacts instead of your expensive charger's main port.

 Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• From: Struggling to unplug tight connectors by pulling on the wires (which breaks them).

• To: Using the ribbed Amass Sheath to get a solid grip, making battery swaps faster and preserving your wire connections.

Virtual Technician: Wiring & Safety ⚠️

• Polarity: The "Top" horizontal bar of the T is Positive (+), and the vertical bar is Negative (-). The housing is keyed to prevent reverse polarity.

• Connection Fit: Amass plugs are manufactured to tighter tolerances than generic clones. The fit will be firm. If it feels too tight initially, mating it 2-3 times will break it in.

• Sheath Removal: The plastic sheaths are designed to be permanent once snapped on. Do not try to remove them, or you may damage the locking tabs.

Accessories

• Included in the Package:

  • 1 x Amass T-Plug Extension Cable with Safety Sheath (10cm)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the benefit of the "Sheath"? The hard plastic sheath replaces heat shrink. It looks cleaner, protects the solder joint from bending stress, and provides a textured surface for your fingers to grip when unplugging.

2. Is this compatible with old Deans plugs? Yes! Amass T-Plugs are 100% compatible with all standard Deans-style connectors, regardless of brand.

3. Is the wire pure copper? It is Tinned Copper. Tinning protects the copper strands from corrosion and makes soldering easier if you ever need to modify it.

4. Can I use this for 4S LiPo batteries? Yes, 14AWG wire and T-Plugs handle 4S voltage (14.8V) and currents up to ~50A easily.

5. Is it Male-to-Male? No, this is an Extension (Male-to-Female). It extends an existing connection.

6. What is the total length? The wire is 10cm. With connectors, the total length is approximately 13cm.

7. Is the polarity marked? Yes, usually with a small "+" symbol on the housing, but the T-shape itself ensures correct polarity.

8. Will the wire melt if it touches a hot motor? Silicone wire is heat resistant up to 200°C. It will survive brief contact with hot components that would melt PVC wire.

9. Can I cut it to make pigtails? Yes. Cutting it in half gives you one high-quality male pigtail and one female pigtail with factory-installed sheaths.

10. Is it waterproof? The silicone wire is, but the open metal contacts of the T-Plug are not.

11. Why is T-Plug harder to pull apart than XT60? T-Plugs use a flat spring compression mechanism which creates a very high friction fit to ensure low resistance. The ribbed sheath on this cable helps significantly with leverage.

12. Can I use this for Airsoft? Yes, this is a very popular upgrade for Airsoft batteries to reduce resistance compared to Tamiya connectors.

13. Does it have anti-spark? No, standard T-Plugs do not have anti-spark resistors. A small spark on connection is normal for higher voltages.

14. Is 14AWG thick enough? For T-Plugs, yes. 14AWG matches the current handling of the connector pins (approx 50A). Thicker wire would be difficult to solder to the small pins.

15. What is the brand? These connectors are manufactured by Amass, the leading brand for RC power plugs.

16. Can I daisy chain them? You can, but every connection adds resistance. It is better to use one longer cable if possible.

17. Is it suitable for marine/boat use? Yes, provided the connectors are kept dry or packed with dielectric grease.

18. What color is the housing? Standard Amass Red/Maroon.

19. Will this fit Traxxas connectors? It will plug into older Traxxas connectors (that look like Deans), but not the new TRX/ID connectors.

20. Is the wire flexible? Yes, "Noodle-like" flexibility perfect for tight RC chassis.
