Overview
The Etronix JST Female Connector to Deans Female Plug (ET0804) is an essential adapter for RC enthusiasts who work with mixed connector setups. Whether you're running RC cars UK, RC buggies, or other electric-powered models, this compact connector adapter provides a straightforward way to interface components that use these two common RC connector types. Many RC hobbyists accumulate equipment with different power connector standards over time, and manually re-soldering connectors every time you want to swap components between models is time-consuming and potentially risky. This genuine Etronix adapter eliminates that frustration by allowing you to quickly adapt between BEC/JST female connectors and Deans female plugs without any soldering required.
The ET0804 is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts who maintain multiple models or who have gradually upgraded their fleet with newer equipment featuring different connector types. Rather than being forced to re-solder power leads or purchase entirely new cables, this adapter offers a practical, cost-effective solution that keeps your hobby running smoothly. It's the kind of essential accessory that serious RC car UK competitors, weekend bashers, and casual hobbyists alike should keep in their field or pit toolkit. At just £1.99, it represents genuine value for money and helps reduce the need for labour-intensive modifications when making quick changes to your power setup.
This product is ideal for anyone working with RC models and accessories that utilise BEC or Deans connectors on their power leads, whether you're involved in charging setups, power distribution systems, or simply trying to maintain compatibility across your growing collection of brushless RC models and associated equipment. The compact design means it takes up minimal space in your pit bag, making it an absolute must-have for organised RC enthusiasts.
Key Features
- BEC Female to Deans Female Configuration — This adapter features a BEC/JST female connector on one end and a Deans female plug on the other, allowing you to connect components with these two different connector types without requiring any soldering or specialised tools.
- Simplifies Mixed-Connector Setups — If you've accumulated RC equipment over the years with different connector standards, this adapter helps you integrate all your components seamlessly, avoiding the hassle and expense of replacing entire power lead assemblies.
- Reduces Re-Soldering Requirements — Rather than desoldering and resoldering connectors whenever you want to swap components between different RC models, this adapter allows quick, repeatable changes that take seconds to complete.
- Genuine Etronix Part Number ET0804 — This is an authentic Etronix product, making it easy to identify and ensuring you're purchasing a quality component from a recognised manufacturer rather than an untested third-party alternative.
- Compact Field or Pit Toolkit Essential — The small, lightweight design makes this adapter perfect for keeping in your pit bag, tool box, or field toolkit so you always have the connectivity solution you need when you need it.
- Compatible with Common RC Standards — Deans and BEC/JST connectors are among the most widely used power connectors in the RC hobby, particularly for electric RC cars, buggies, crawlers, and other battery-powered models, making this adapter incredibly versatile.
Technical Performance
The Etronix ET0804 is engineered as a passive connector adapter with no active electronics, meaning it introduces no voltage drop, current limitations, or compatibility issues between your BEC/JST equipment and Deans-equipped components. This straightforward design philosophy ensures reliable, consistent performance across all your RC models and accessories. The adapter is constructed to handle standard RC hobby power levels, making it suitable for use with everything from smaller, entry-level brushless RC cars through to more demanding high-performance models. Its compact form factor ensures minimal physical intrusion in your field setup or vehicle bay, and the genuine Etronix construction means it's designed to withstand the rigours of regular use in competitive and recreational RC environments alike. The connector interfaces are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring tight, secure connections that won't cause intermittent power loss or connection failures during operation. Whether you're running a 2WD RC buggy, a 4WD brushless monster truck, or other electric-powered models, this adapter provides the connectivity reliability you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this adapter with any RC model that has BEC or Deans connectors? — Yes, this adapter is designed for universal compatibility with any RC models and accessories using BEC/JST female connectors on one side and Deans female plugs on the other. It works with electric RC cars UK, buggies, crawlers, and all other battery-powered RC equipment using these standard connector types.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This adapter is perfect for beginners because it requires no tools, soldering skills, or technical knowledge to use. Simply plug one connector type into one end and the other connector type into the opposite end. It's an ideal solution for newer RC enthusiasts who want to maintain compatibility between different pieces of equipment without learning to solder.
- Will this adapter introduce any voltage drop or power loss? — No. This is a passive connector adapter with no active electronics, meaning it simply creates a direct connection between the two connector types without introducing any voltage drop, current limitations, or power loss. Your equipment will operate exactly as it would with properly matched connectors.
- What is the difference between BEC, JST, and Deans connectors? — These are three different physical connector designs used in the RC hobby. BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) and JST refer to the same type of compact two-pin connector commonly used in RC models. Deans is a larger, two-pin connector design that's also very common in RC applications. Neither is inherently better than the other; they're simply different standards that have developed over time. This adapter bridges that gap, allowing you to use equipment with either connector type together without modifications.
- Is this a genuine Etronix product? — Yes, this is a genuine Etronix part number ET0804. Etronix is a recognised manufacturer of RC accessories and components, and purchasing genuine parts ensures you're getting a quality, reliable product rather than an untested alternative.
- How many of these adapters should I keep in my pit bag? — Most RC enthusiasts find it useful to carry at least one or two of these adapters in their field or pit toolkit, particularly if they maintain multiple models with different connector types. Having one readily available means you can quickly adapt between equipment without delaying your session.
