QTEQ Power Terminal

QTEQ have released what they are calling the Power Terminal, which is essentially a means to connect the cables to your motor without the need to solder the joint. It consists of 3 parts, a device side part that is soldered to the motor’s power connections, a cable side part which is soldered to the cables and a set of 3 M2x10 screws that allow you to securely attach the wires to the motor. The end result is that the conductivity is comparable to that of directly solder systems.

QTEQ Power Banana 4mm banana plugs

QTEQ have released their Power Banana ultra low resistance 4mm banana plugs for electrical RC car batteries. This solid multi-contact banana plug combines the advantages of both solid and multilam type bananas plugs. The plug consists of 6 contacts of resilient copper alloy with each contact featuring two contact points. The twelve contact points, three times more than those of existing solid type banana plugs, reduce contact resistance to one third. A low head type, only 2mm, also features a specially formed groove that reduces excessive solder volume which interferes with the path of electrical current.

Speedzone 2S & 1S LiPo Battery connectors

Speedzone now offers a variety of connector options for LiPo batteries. First up is a standard length connector available with a balance plug, 4mm bullet connectors and a Deans type or Traxxas connector. These are also available without a balance plug for 1S applications, or for tight fitting areas. Next up are 85mm length connectors which are also available with Deans type or Traxxas connectors, with and without balance plugs. The shortened wire length allows these connectors to be used in places where room is an issue or gives the user a neat and compact finish to their wiring layout, while still using a plug and play connector for their battery packs. Connectors come with 12 gauge wire and can be used as a harness connector for hook-up to a charger or ESC. Speedzone also makes available their own low profile, low resistance 4mm male connectors. These types of connectors allow for soldering your wires at a 90 degree angle to the connector, permitting greater room for body and chassis clearance.
