JST-XH 5S 22AWG Extension 20cm

5S LiPo Balance Lead Extension: Purpose-built for 5S (18.5V) lithium-polymer battery configurations, extending the reach of balance charger ports and voltage monitoring equipment.

Flexible 22AWG Silicone Cable: High-strand tinned copper wire core wrapped in high-flex silicone insulation to resist heat, continuous bending fatigue, and outer sheath cracking.

Extended 20cm Working Length: Delivers a 20cm (7.87'') cable extension that protects expensive balance charger ports from physical strain and simplifies charging inside LiPo safety bags.

Standard 2.54mm Pitch JST-XH Connectors: Features precision-molded 6-pin male-to-female JST-XH connectors, ensuring a snug, reliable fit with standard balance chargers (e.g., ISDT, ToolkitRC, IMAX B6).

Secure Keyed Latching: Snug plastic housing design prevents intermittent pin connections and accidental dislodgement during active balance charging or telemetry sessions.

Color-Coded Multi-Wire Setup: Distinct individual wire colors enable quick visual pin identification and accurate polarity checking across all 5 cell balance taps.

Housing Material: Durable PVC / Polyamide plastic.

Wire Material: Flexible silicone-insulated 22AWG tinned copper wire.

Technical Specifications:

Configuration: 5S (6 Pins / 5 Cells).

Connector Gender: Male to Female Extension.

Cable Length: 20cm (7.87'').

Wire Gauge: 22AWG.

Color: Multi-color / Black-Red.

Usage Advice: Align keyway tabs on the JST-XH male housing with the female socket prior to pressing in. Always disconnect by holding the plastic plug body rather than pulling on the wire strands.

Maintenance: Keep connector pins free of dust, grease, or flux; store straight or loosely coiled to avoid tight kinks.

Essential 5S Balance Extension: Position as a key convenience and safety extension for 5S RC airplanes, medium-scale FPV drones, and custom multi-cell battery packs.

Highlight Port Protection & Wire Flexibility: Emphasize how this extension prevents physical wear on balance charger ports while 22AWG silicone construction offers far greater flexibility than stiff PVC leads.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with JST-XH 4S 22AWG Extension 20cm, JST-XH 6S 22AWG Extension 20cm, Male XT60 to 4.0mm Banana Plug, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
