Overview
The SPM UM to JST (5) & UM to PH2.0 (5) Charger Adapters O-SPMA3021 is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who operate models with multiple connector types. Manufactured by Spektrum, a trusted name in RC hobby electronics, these adapter sets enable seamless compatibility between ultra-micro (UM) connectors and two of the most commonly used charging connectors in the RC industry: JST and PH2.0. Whether you're running a fleet of RC cars in the UK or managing multiple models with different charging requirements, these adapters eliminate the frustration of incompatible connections and allow you to use a single charger across your entire collection.
For RC hobbyists managing diverse equipment, connector compatibility is crucial. The inclusion of five JST adapters and five PH2.0 adapters means you have flexibility and redundancy built in. These connectors represent industry standards used across lightweight RC vehicles, from micro-scale cars to specialised ultra-micro models. The Spektrum name guarantees quality construction and reliable electrical connectivity, ensuring your charger performs safely and efficiently every time you need to top up your batteries.
RC Model Shop stock genuine Spektrum adapters because we understand that quality connectors directly impact your charging experience and battery longevity. These adapters are precision-engineered to maintain tight electrical contact, minimise voltage drop during charging, and prevent accidental reverse polarity connections that could damage your valuable RC equipment.
Key Features
- Dual Adapter Set — This package contains a total of ten adapters: five UM to JST connectors and five UM to PH2.0 connectors, providing comprehensive coverage for different charging scenarios and ensuring you always have a spare adapter on hand.
- Ultra-Micro (UM) Connector Compatibility — The UM connector standard is specifically designed for lightweight and ultra-micro RC applications, making these adapters ideal for small-scale models, micro racing drones, and compact RC vehicles that require minimal weight and space.
- JST Connector Support — JST connectors are among the most widely recognised and used charging connectors in the RC hobby, particularly popular in mid-range RC cars, trucks, and electric models across the UK RC community.
- PH2.0 High-Current Ultra Micro Support — The PH2.0 connector specification is recognised as the high-current ultra-micro standard, enabling safe and reliable charging for demanding applications where weight and size constraints are critical.
- Spektrum Quality Construction — Every adapter is manufactured to Spektrum's exacting standards, ensuring durable gold-plated contacts, precise tolerance manufacturing, and reliable performance over thousands of charge cycles.
- Safety and Reliability — These adapters are engineered to maintain consistent electrical contact and minimise heat generation during charging, protecting both your charger and your expensive RC batteries from damage.
- Convenient Multi-Pack Format — With five adapters of each type included, you can keep adapters permanently installed on frequently-used models or batteries, eliminating the need to constantly swap connectors between charging sessions.
Technical Performance
The SPM UM to JST (5) & UM to PH2.0 (5) Charger Adapters O-SPMA3021 are passive connector adapters with no active electronic components, meaning they simply provide mechanical and electrical bridging between different connector standards. Each adapter features precision-machined contact points with gold plating to ensure minimal electrical resistance and maximum conductivity. The UM connector is the industry standard for ultra-micro RC applications where weight is critical, whilst the JST connector is widely used across standard RC models and chargers throughout the UK. The PH2.0 connector, officially recognised as the high-current ultra-micro specification, supports higher current flows than standard micro connectors, making it suitable for more demanding RC applications. These adapters are fully compatible with any Spektrum charger and with virtually all aftermarket chargers that support these connector types, making them exceptionally versatile for your RC hobby setup. The five adapters of each type provide redundancy and convenience, allowing you to maintain adapters across multiple models and batteries without the need for repeated connector swapping. Whether you're charging ultra-lightweight racing drones, micro RC cars, or small-scale RC trucks, these adapters deliver the reliable connectivity you need to keep your fleet operational.
