Possible fake Deans plugs.....in Deans packaging???? Or has Deans changed their plugs
On Friday afternoon, I was soldering some Female Deans plugs that I bought at my LHS where I had bought many packages of them before, but I started have problems with them. The plastic seems to melt very easily, and the contacts then move, making it very difficult to plug the male plug into them. Also, instead of looking like they are gold plated, they look silver instead....check out this photo...The male plug is one I took out of a package I have had for a few months and looks to be gold plated, the female one is a new one, and as you can see is just silver colored. You can see how the plastic melted on the one on the right!!
I went and bought a couple more packs today, and the same thing!! Tomorrow, I am going to go to another LHS and see if theirs are the same....

That's why I won't use deans. Too difficult to solder. I like the XT-60 or the EC5 for high voltage. Very easy to solder!

So, I've got the rest of my stuff packed, and I drive out to San Antonio tomorrow. In my trailer I've go the 89" positioned nicely underneath a table, the 72" Extra still NIB, and in my van I've got the 70" and 64" MXS width wise in the second row, and in the back of the van, my two dogs are sharing some space with my 74" Edge and 51" Slick. I'll take a pic tomorrow when it's light out. I really hope these planes survive the move unscathed!
