SPIDER Automation JST-XH 5S Balance Wire Extension Cable | 20cm
Description
SPIDER Automation JST-XH 5S Balance Wire Extension Cable is a specialized electrical accessory engineered to facilitate secure and reliable balance-lead connections for multi-cell LiPo battery packs. Because standard battery balance leads are frequently constrained by short factory lengths, this 210mm extension harness provides the necessary reach to interface directly with laboratory power chargers and battery management systems without placing mechanical tension on fragile wiring junctions.
Constructed with standardized 2.5mm pitch JST-XH male and female connector interfaces, the assembly ensures low-contact resistance and stable signal transfer for accurate cell monitoring and voltage balancing.
Key Features
- 5S Cell Configuration Interface: Dedicated balance extension wiring designed specifically for 5-series (5S) LiPo architecture.
- Standardized 2.5mm Pitch Connectors: Molded JST-XH male and female terminals guarantee precise pin alignment and secure mating.
- Optimized 210mm Length: Provides comfortable operational clearance on crowded test benches and within compact equipment housings.
- Low-Resistance Conductor Path: High-purity internal wiring minimizes voltage drop during precision cell balancing cycles.
- Durable Strain Relief: Robust terminal housings protect internal solder joints against frequent insertion stress.
Benefits
- Eliminates Mechanical Stress: Prevents pull tension, wire fatigue, and terminal breakage on delicate battery balance taps during charging.
- Enhanced Bench Workflow: Simplifies battery connection inside specialized charging bags, safety bunkers, and dense enclosure setups.
- Reliable Signal Integrity: Precision-engineered pin contacts maintain stable continuity to ensure accurate individual cell voltage readings.
- Universal Compatibility: Fully compatible with standard hobby balance chargers, computer-controlled power units, and 5S battery brands.
- Plug-and-Play Deployment: Ready-to-use factory assembly requires zero wiring modifications or custom tooling.
Applications
- Multi-Cell LiPo Charging: Extending short balance pigtails on 5S battery packs to reach stationary bench chargers.
- RC & Unmanned Systems: Maintenance and charging support for racing quadcopters, multirotors, aircraft, and high-performance electric models.
- Industrial Prototyping: Voltage monitoring and cell-tap extension for custom multi-cell battery management system (BMS) testing rigs.
- Electronics Test Benches: Secure signal extension for low-voltage sensor arrays and modular DC power distribution buses.
