    There is a new option available for hobbyists when it comes to making dependable and efficient electrical connections: the Star Plug. Several notable features are engineered into this new series of connectors. A two piece plug eliminates the need to use heat shrink, which translates into quicker and neater installations. Simply slide the rear cap in place on the wires before soldering the wires to the plug, make the connections and then slide it forward until it snaps in place on the rear of the plug. A center isolator in this cap effectively prevents the two wires from shorting together. The entire connector is molded out of heat- and impact-resistant polymer, which also makes for for safe handling and long life. Gold- and
    nickel-plating on terminals ensure excellent conductivity and long life. A stainless steel spring ensures that connections start and stay tight, even after hundreds of uses. And the new Star Power Connectors are 100% compatible one of the industry’s most popular polarized plugs, the Deans T Connector.

    Star Plug Specifications:

    • Dimensions (assm): 1.36” x 0.61” (34.5 x 15.42 mm)
    • Weight (assm): 0.19 oz (5.4 g)
    • Max. Wire Gauge: 12AWG (with rear cap installed); 10AWG (without rear cap)

      They look like a deans connector with a fancy rear cover to me. Does anyone actually use deans anymore?

      The RC Heli Nation boys gave these a fair pasting last week for exactly that reason.

      For me its EC5 on everything. Never had a plug failure since i started using EC5. If you can standardise on one connector it saves you lots of hassels re charging harnesses etc. But the plugs above are just a deans with plastic on the back.... nothing special thats for sure.
