I also have these in BLACK ET0796BK for a pair or ET0797BK for a packet of 10.

XT-60 connectors are popular, high-current connectors commonly used in RC (radio control) vehicles like drones, cars, and airplanes, as well as in battery charging and power systems. They are known for their secure and reliable connection, handling high currents up to 60A, and their user-friendly design for easy plugging and unplugging.

Key Features and Benefits:
High Current Handling:
XT-60 connectors are designed to handle currents up to 60A, making them suitable for powerful RC applications.
Secure and Reliable Connection:
They feature gold-plated spring connectors and a tight fit, ensuring a solid connection with minimal resistance.
Ergonomic Design:
The connectors have an ergonomic design that provides a good grip, making them easy to handle and connect/disconnect.
Reverse Polarity Protection:
The shape of the connector prevents accidental reverse polarity connections, enhancing safety.
High-Temperature Resistance:
Made from high-temp nylon, they can withstand high operating temperatures.
Easy to Solder:
XT-60 connectors are designed for easy soldering.
Variety of Applications:
Beyond RC vehicles, they are also used in battery charging, solar power systems, and portable power stations.
Backward Compatibility:
The newer XT60H (or XT60+) connectors are backward compatible with the original XT60 connectors.

Types and Differences:
XT60 and XT60H/XT60+:
The XT60H/XT60+ connectors include snap-on insulating end caps for easier handling and heat-shrink free installation.
XT60 vs. XT60i:
While similar, the XT60i connectors have a slightly different design, often identified by their orange color.
Male and Female Configurations:
XT60 connectors come in male and female configurations. By convention, the female connectors are typically used on the power supply side, and male connectors on the consumer side for safety reasons.

Color Options:
While traditionally yellow, black XT60 connectors are also available and are interchangeable with the yellow ones.

Maintenance and Considerations:
Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect connectors for wear, corrosion, or damage and replace any damaged connectors.
Keep Clean: Keep connectors clean from dirt and debris to ensure a good connection.
Check Tightness: Periodically check the tightness of the connectors to prevent voltage drops and overheating.
