DC socket XT30 male PCB THT connector, 2-pin, yellow

XT30 male DC socket for through-hole PCB mounting is a compact 2-pin yellow connector designed to provide a secure power interface for small electronic devices, battery packs and prototype boards. The connector is intended for THT soldering to a printed circuit board, offering reliable electrical contact and a low-profile footprint that fits hobby electronics, drones, portable instruments and other applications where space and dependable power connections are required.

Advantages

The XT30 male PCB THT connector features a compact two-pin design that combines solid mechanical retention with consistent conductive contact. Its through-hole construction ensures strong solder joints and stability on the PCB during vibration or movement. The yellow housing provides clear polarity identification while the connector’s compact dimensions minimize board area usage. The robust contacts are suitable for repeated mating cycles and deliver low-resistance connections for effective power transfer.

Suitable for

• Power input/output connections on small PCBs
• Battery connections for DIY electronics and RC models
• Prototyping and development boards requiring a compact DC plug
• Portable instruments and low- to medium-current applications

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2-pin male DC socket for PCB
• Mounting style: through-hole (THT) solder mounting
• Housing color: yellow
• Contact arrangement: two conductive pins for positive and negative
• Typical application: compact power/interface connector for small electronics

How to use

Place the XT30 male connector into the designated through-holes on the PCB so the housing sits flush with the board surface. Ensure correct orientation for polarity before soldering. Use appropriate soldering technique for through-hole components: preheat the pad and pin, apply solder to form a solid fillet and inspect the joint for full wetting and no cold solder. After soldering, verify electrical continuity and correct polarity with a multimeter before applying power. Mating the connector with a compatible female XT30 plug should result in a firm, low-resistance connection; avoid applying excessive mechanical force during insertion or removal.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, use solder compatible with PCB and connector materials and follow recommended current ratings for the specific application. Avoid exceeding the connector’s handling current and protect connections from mechanical strain by securing cables or adding strain relief. When used in battery systems, confirm correct polarity and use connectors with matching gender and rating to prevent accidental short circuits.
