Aluminium jig for soldering XT60, XT90 and T connectors

Description

Jig for soldering XT60 connectors and bullets

Soldering an XT60 while holding it in your fingers is awkward and risky. This connector soldering jig is an aluminium block with fitted slots where the connector stands firmly, terminals up, ready to tin and join the wires.

It takes XT60, XT90, T and mini-T connectors and bullet connectors from 2.4 to 10.4 mm. It is aluminium, so it handles the iron’s heat without warping, and it weighs 155 g so it stays put on the table.

Frequently asked questions about the soldering jig
