Star Plug T-type high-current connectors

New from Hobbico come the Star Plug T-type high-current connectors. Compatible with the iconic Deans Ultra Plug they sport an updated design that does away with the need to use shrink tube on the exposed terminals as they are covered by a snap-on back cap cover. A tapered shape and grip strips make for fast and easy separation of the male and female part while gold-plated male terminals allow for excellent conductivity and nickel-plated female terminals improve wear resistance and life. The plugs are usable with up to 12AWG wire when using the back covers and with thicker 10AWG wire without covers.
