[NSRCA-discussion] HXT 4mm connectors

[Ron Hansen]

Also, there are 2 types of red HXT 4mm connectors.

 

One requires you to assemble the male and female connectors into the
housing.

 

The second type is preassembled and is good for large gauge wire (10 gauge).

 

10 gauge typically won't fit through the red housing and also can't be
easily soldered into the pins without grinding the wire down a little after
tinning.

 

I use both styles depending on the application.

The way you assemble the HXT connectors is to push the wire through the
plastic housing, solder the connector on the wire and tap the connector back
into the housing by putting the wires down through a vise and drive the
connector into place.

I'm looking to convert all of my equipment to the HXT 4mm Bullet connectors
(Red housings).  Can someone that is using them tell me what the standard
convention is for wiring these?  It would appear from photos (Hobby king)
that the battery side is putting the positive lead on the male bullet
(larger housing) and the neg lead on the female bullet (smaller housing).
Is that what most are doing?    Feels backwards to me, but I want to match
conventions so I can buy prewired stuff in the future.
