Overview
The Radient JR HD Y Lead with Clip 150mm (RDNAC010242) is an essential accessory for RC hobbyists who demand reliability and durability in their equipment connections. This heavy-duty Y-harness is specifically designed for JR-format connectors, making it the perfect choice for anyone running RC cars, trucks, or helicopters that use JR-specification receiver systems. Whether you're setting up a new RC car UK-based or upgrading your existing fleet, this Y-lead ensures stable power distribution to multiple servos or receivers without compromising connection integrity.
Built with exceptional durability in mind, this Y-harness features robust 60-strand wire construction throughout its 150mm length, providing flexibility and reliability even during intensive use. The inclusion of a locking connector clip sets this product apart from basic alternatives, as it actively prevents connector separation during operation—a critical feature when you're piloting your RC vehicle at speed or during competitive racing. RC Model Shop stocks this product because we understand that reliable connections are the foundation of a well-performing RC setup, whether you're a seasoned competitor or enjoying weekend bashing sessions.
At just £1.71, the Radient JR HD Y Lead represents exceptional value for money, offering professional-grade construction at an affordable price point. The 22AWG wire gauge provides an ideal balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility, whilst the compact 150mm overall length makes it suitable for a wide range of receiver configurations. This is the kind of essential spares item that every serious RC enthusiast should have in their toolbox.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction — Built using 60-strand wire, this Y-lead is engineered to withstand the demands of regular RC use, providing durability that matches the quality of your main RC vehicle and ensuring long-term reliability in your setup.
- Locking Connector Clip — The included connector clip actively secures the harness in place during operation, preventing accidental disconnection that could otherwise cause power loss or unexpected performance issues mid-flight or mid-drive.
- JR Format Compatibility — Designed specifically for JR-specification connectors, this Y-lead integrates seamlessly with JR receivers and devices, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement for existing JR-based RC systems.
- Optimal Wire Gauge — The 22AWG wire provides excellent current handling capability whilst maintaining the flexibility needed for installation in tight spaces within your RC car or aircraft receiver box.
- Compact 150mm Length — Including connectors, the 150mm total length makes this Y-lead ideal for standard receiver installations without excess cable creating clutter or interference within your RC platform.
- Male to Dual Female Configuration — This one-to-two distribution harness allows you to split a single power input to two separate female JR connectors, perfect for powering multiple servos or dual receiver setups in your RC car UK racing build.
Technical Performance
The Radient JR HD Y Lead with Clip 150mm delivers professional-grade electrical performance through its carefully engineered construction. The 22AWG wire specification provides a 0.644mm² cross-sectional area, which is optimised for handling the current demands of typical JR servo systems whilst maintaining excellent flexibility for installation. The 60-strand conductor construction means each individual copper strand is extremely fine, resulting in a cable that bends easily without kinking or developing internal fractures that could compromise conductivity. This is significantly more robust than lower-quality alternatives that might use only 19 or 28-strand construction. The outer diameter of just 1.5mm means this harness takes up minimal space within your RC model, whether you're building a competitive 1/10 scale touring car, a 1/8 scale buggy, or an RC truck platform. The colour-coded wires (Brown, Red, and Orange) follow standard JR conventions, making polarity identification immediate and reducing the risk of reverse-polarity connection errors that could damage your receiver or servos. The integrated connector clip is manufactured from durable plastic engineering material, providing secure mechanical locking whilst remaining light enough not to add significant weight to your RC installation. This Y-lead is suitable for continuous use with standard RC servo systems operating at typical voltage ranges, though it is recommended for users aged 14 and above due to the small connector components involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a JR Y-lead do and why would I need one? — A Y-lead allows you to split a single power source into two separate outputs, each with its own female JR connector. This is essential when you need to power multiple servos, dual receivers, or other JR-specification devices from a single battery or receiver power input. The locking clip version ensures your connections stay secure during high-speed RC car driving or aerobatic flying.
- Is this suitable for beginners in RC car UK? — Yes, absolutely. While RC enthusiasts of all experience levels use Y-leads, beginners will benefit from understanding that this component makes their setup more reliable. The locking clip is particularly valuable for new users who may not yet have perfected their connector seating technique. At just £1.71, it's an affordable upgrade that prevents frustrating mid-session power loss.
- What is the 22AWG specification and why does it matter? — AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the standard measurement for wire thickness; 22AWG is a medium-gauge wire suitable for standard servo currents in RC applications. This gauge provides an excellent balance between current capacity and cable flexibility. It's heavier-duty than 24AWG alternatives but more flexible than thicker 20AWG options, making it the standard choice for Y-leads across the RC hobby.
- How does the 60-strand construction compare to other Y-leads? — The 60-strand construction means the wire is composed of 60 individual copper strands twisted together, versus cheaper alternatives with 19 or 28 strands. More strands mean superior flexibility and resistance to internal fracturing from repeated bending, extending cable lifespan significantly. This is why Radient's heavy-duty specification justifies the investment.
- Can I use this with any brand of RC receiver? — As long as your receiver features JR-format connectors (the most common standard across major brands like Futaba, Spektrum, JR and others), this Y-lead is fully compatible. The JR connector standard is universal across most mainstream RC hobby brands.
- What is the outer diameter and why is 1.5mm significant? — At just 1.5mm outer diameter, this harness is compact enough to fit easily within receiver boxes and fuselage spaces without creating clutter or potential interference with other components. Thicker cables would take up valuable space in smaller RC models.
