Yeah⌠The reason I want to do this is kind of dumb.
The Xt90s is a pain in the ass to get in and out.
So I rather plug the Xt60 connector with the xt90s always attached.
So this doesnât work?
How can I make the Xt90s just a bit more slippery?
I really need to use all my power to get it out again and need around 30 seconds struggling continuously.
I saw that! Awesome how much effort he/she put in! Sadly, thereâs no explanation why you canât plug your xt90s into a xt90 to xt 60 connector and use it as the loop key.
I really want to know why this doesnât work, since the magic about the xt90s is due to one side of it having a built in Resistor (AFAIK) which prevents the sparksâŚ
If I use it like this, doesnât it achieve the same effect? And why?
The xt90 to Xt60 is just an extension to the terminals of the (AFAIK) non magic xt90
The XT90S is special because it is a 2 stage connector. The resistor hits first, letting power through slowly, (this only takes a fraction of a second to charge), then the main body of the connector hits, at which point voltage has been equalized by the initial resistor section and now full power can flow. Wiring a resistor to a switch would mean full power goes through the resistor, itâll blow in a second.
@BillGordon this is the problem Iâm having
When I have this mounted to my enclosure, or just having it on the outside for the beginning, I wonât get this on and especially not off, as I need pliers at the moment
So when I plug it off it might just mess everything up
You need something that offers more pull force. Either a soldered loop of thick gauge wire you can hook a finger through or something like this handle Linny made. Simply pinching it between your fingers is not enough.
