Lookalikes and how to tell them apart
Same shape as an XT60, much bigger, for 10 AWG wire. Rated 45 A continuous, 90 A for brief peaks.
| Connector | Pitch | Latch | Per contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| XT90 | — | no, held by friction | 45 A |
| XT60 | — | no, held by friction | 30–35 A |
| Anderson Powerpole | — | no, held by friction | 15–45 A |
Before you plug it in
The number in XT30, XT60 and XT90 is the brief peak current, not what the plug carries all the time: Amass rates them about 15–20, 30–35 and 45 A continuous.
The current rating is a maximum per contact, at the wire size the maker states. With thinner wire, or with every contact carrying current, stay well below it.

Frequently asked questions
How much current can a XT90 connector carry?
45 A per contact, at up to 500 V DC, according to Amass.
