The Overlander EC5 (Female) to Deans (Male) Conversion Lead – 3466 is a high-quality adaptor that enables seamless compatibility between EC5-equipped batteries and Deans (T-Plug) systems. Built for efficiency, reliability, and ease of use, it’s an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts with mixed connector setups.
Why choose the Overlander 3466 conversion lead?
Manufactured with precision gold-plated contacts, flexible silicone wiring, and heat-resistant housings, this conversion lead ensures safe, low-resistance current transfer without the need for rewiring or soldering. It’s a simple, plug-and-play solution for connecting EC5 batteries to ESCs, chargers, or devices that rely on Deans connectors.
Connector details
- Input: EC5 Female – accepts EC5 Male battery connectors
- Output: Deans Male – plugs directly into Deans/T-Plug ESCs and chargers
- Contacts: Gold-plated pins for efficient current flow
- Housing: Durable nylon shell resistant to heat and impact
Performance & reliability
The 3466 adaptor maintains excellent conductivity under high current draw, making it suitable for brushless motor systems and heavy-duty RC applications. The gold-plated pins reduce resistance and prevent voltage drops, while the silicone-insulated wire ensures flexibility and durability during frequent use.
Advantages over rewiring
Rewiring or replacing connectors can risk damaging batteries and void warranties. This conversion lead eliminates that risk by providing a secure, reversible solution that works across multiple RC platforms. It’s safe, reusable, and designed for long-term performance.
Durability & construction
The adaptor is built to withstand repeated connections and the vibration of RC use. Reinforced soldering and shrink-wrapped joints enhance reliability, ensuring the lead remains effective after extended use in high-demand conditions.
Best use scenarios
- RC car enthusiasts running EC5 batteries with Deans ESCs
- Aircraft or helicopters using EC5 packs with Deans charging setups
- Hobbyists managing multiple connector standards without rewiring
Care & maintenance tips
- Always ensure connectors are securely fitted before operation
- Keep contacts clean and free of dirt for best conductivity
- Avoid pulling cables directly—always grip the connector housing
- Inspect periodically for wear on connectors and shrink wrap

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
