I stopped by the LHS Saturday and picked up a couple of packages of these connectors and just spent the afternoon soldering them up to charge adapters, ESC, and a series harness. I went to hook things up and they did not fit my other 5.5mm connectors. I then got out the calipers to check them only to find out that they where actually 6.5mm. THE PACKAGES SAY 5.5 BUT CONTAIN 6.5 CONNECTORS. I don't know how wide spread this is or how many were distributed before they realized what happened (if they know). I just thought I would warn everyone before they end up in the same boat as I.

Also you will always be better served to stick with the same exact manufacturer for these connectors and others. If you switch around from one manufacturer to another, A 5.5mm connector may not always be exactly 5.5mm. Some may fit loose or tight.Steven Vaccaro
