The MT60 female connector is a 3-pin high-current electrical connector for three-phase BLDC motors. It joins motor phase wires (A/B/C) and power lines in one housing. Therefore, it fits e-bikes, electric scooters, light electric vehicles, RC models and drones. The most common use is linking a hub motor to its motor controller.
This female half carries three bullet sockets that mate with the MT60 male side. It handles up to ~60 A short-term current, depending on wire cross-section and cooling. The housing is heat-resistant nylon (polyamide, PA), and its keyed geometry blocks reversed mating. Wires are soldered directly into the contacts, so no crimp terminals are needed.
Note that MT60 is not XT60. XT60 has 2 contacts for plus and minus only. Within the MT series, MT30 is smaller and MT90 is the larger, stronger version.
Key Benefits
- Three-pin design – all three motor phases A, B and C pass through a single mating action.
- High-current capacity – up to ~60 A short-term current, subject to wire gauge and cooling.
- Low contact resistance – steady power transfer and smaller voltage drop under load.
- Heat-resistant housing – nylon does not deform as the contacts warm up.
- Keyed geometry – the two halves cannot be joined the wrong way round.
- Vibration-resistant fit – the locked joint suits chassis and frame wiring looms.
- Solder points – wire goes straight into the contact, without extra terminals.
- Clear phase identification – contacts let you mark the A/B/C order consistently during assembly.
Who Is This For?
This connector suits electric bikes, electric scooters and light electric vehicles. In addition, it is used in RC models and drones, where compact high-current joints matter. The primary application is connecting three-phase BLDC motor phases (A/B/C) to a motor controller.
Builders who assemble their own wiring looms will find it useful. Likewise, it serves anyone swapping controllers or fitting a hub motor. Because the joint separates quickly, wheel and controller repairs get faster. Repair workshops, battery builders and electronics production benefit from that.

Why Choose the MT60 Female Connector?
MT60 brings all three phases together in one housing. Instead of three separate bullet connectors, you get a single compact joint. As a result, the loom stays tidier and the chance of a wrong connection drops.
The heat-resistant nylon housing and low contact resistance support work at high currents. Moreover, the locked, vibration-resistant joint matters on rough roads. Solder points let you pick wire gauge and length to match the current. They also leave room for heat-shrink tubing over the joint.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the MT60 female connector have?
- It has 3 contacts.
- The three contacts carry phases A, B and C of a three-phase BLDC motor.
- The contacts are female sockets and mate with the MT60 male half.
Is MT60 the same as XT60?
- No, these are different connectors.
- XT60 has 2 contacts, for plus and minus.
- MT60 has 3 contacts, for three-phase motor connections.
Which devices is the MT60 female connector for?
- Electric bikes, electric scooters and light electric vehicles.
- RC models and drones.
- Any build joining a hub motor to a motor controller.
How much current can it carry?
- Up to ~60 A short-term current.
- The figure depends on wire cross-section and cooling.
How are wires attached to this connector?
- Wires are soldered directly into the contacts.
- No separate crimp terminals are required.
- Heat-shrink tubing can then be fitted over the joint.
Can the two halves be connected the wrong way round?
- No, the housing uses keyed geometry.
- That keying protects against reversed mating.
How does MT60 differ from MT30 and MT90?
- MT30 is the smaller version of the series.
- MT90 is the larger and stronger version.
What is included?
- 1× MT60 female connector – housing with female (socket) contacts.
Choose this connector when a hub motor, controller or power line needs a compact three-phase joint that separates for service. The yellow nylon housing, keyed shape and soldered contacts make it a practical fit for e-bike and scooter wiring work.
