Overview
The Radient JR HD Y Lead with Clip 300mm (RDNAC010243) is a heavy-duty male-to-2x-female JR splitter harness designed for RC electronics enthusiasts who need reliable power distribution solutions. Whether you're building a custom RC car setup in the UK or upgrading your existing RC vehicle, this Y lead provides a robust connection method where a dependable JR harness is required. The 300mm length makes it ideal for most RC applications, allowing you to connect a single power source to two separate devices simultaneously — a common requirement in advanced RC setups where you need to power multiple servos, receiver modules, or other components from a single battery connection.
Built with premium 22AWG 60-strand wire, this heavy-duty lead is engineered for serious RC enthusiasts who demand quality and reliability in their electronics. The inclusion of a secure connector clip ensures your lead stays firmly in place during operation, preventing accidental disconnections during high-speed runs or competitive racing. This is particularly important for RC hobbyists who rely on consistent power delivery for smooth, predictable performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC racer, a weekend basher, or someone exploring the world of RC for the first time, having the right connectors and harnesses is essential to getting the most from your RC car or truck.
RC Model Shop stocks this Radient JR lead because we understand that quality spares and upgrades are fundamental to maintaining and optimising your RC setup. The heavy-duty construction and thoughtful design of this Y lead make it a trusted choice for builders across the UK RC community.
Key Features
- Male-to-2x-Female JR Configuration — This Y lead splitter allows you to connect a single male JR connector to two separate female JR connectors, enabling you to power multiple devices from one source without requiring additional adapters or modifications.
- Heavy-Duty 22AWG 60-Strand Wire — The use of 22-gauge wire with 60 individual strands provides excellent conductivity and durability, ensuring minimal voltage drop whilst maintaining structural integrity even under the demands of high-performance RC driving and frequent connect/disconnect cycles.
- 300mm Total Length Including Connectors — The 300mm length (approximately 11.81 inches) strikes an ideal balance between reaching multiple components in your RC setup without creating excessive cable clutter, making it suitable for most standard RC vehicle configurations.
- Secure Connector Clip Included — The supplied connector clip holds the lead firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnection during operation and keeping your wiring neat and organised inside your RC vehicle chassis.
- Colour-Coded Connectors (Brown, Red, Orange) — The standard JR connector colours help you quickly identify positive, negative, and signal connections, reducing the risk of reversed polarity and damage to your RC electronics.
- 1.5mm Outer Diameter — The compact 1.5mm outer diameter ensures the lead doesn't take up excessive space in tight RC chassis layouts whilst still maintaining the robust 60-strand construction needed for reliable power delivery.
Technical Performance
The Radient JR HD Y Lead represents quality engineering focused on solving real problems faced by RC enthusiasts. The use of 22AWG 60-strand wire is specifically chosen to handle the current demands of modern RC servo systems and electronic components. Each strand in the conductor contributes to both electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility, meaning the lead can be routed through your RC vehicle without developing cracks or weak points even after repeated bending. The 60-strand construction is considerably more robust than lower-strand alternatives, making this heavy-duty specification ideal for serious RC users who put their vehicles through demanding conditions. The 1.5mm outer diameter keeps the overall cable profile slim for better cable management inside your RC chassis, whilst the colour-coded JR connectors (Brown/Red/Orange) follow industry-standard polarity conventions, eliminating guesswork when assembling your RC electronics setup. The total 300mm length, measured including the connectors themselves, provides sufficient reach for connecting dual servos, dual receiver modules, or combinations of components in typical RC car and truck configurations. The included connector clip is a thoughtful addition that prevents the lead from shifting or disconnecting due to vibration during high-speed operation — a critical feature for maintaining reliability during competitive racing or intense off-road RC sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a JR Y lead and why would I need one for my RC setup? — A JR Y lead is a splitter harness that allows you to connect one male JR connector to two separate female JR connectors. You'd need one when you want to power multiple components (such as two servos, two receiver modules, or a servo and receiver) from a single power source, eliminating the need for multiple battery connections or complex wiring modifications.
- Is the Radient JR HD Y Lead suitable for beginners? — Yes, this lead is suitable for anyone with basic RC knowledge who understands JR connectors and wiring. The heavy-duty construction actually makes it more forgiving than lighter alternatives, as it handles repeated connections without degradation. Age recommendation is 14+ due to small connector parts, so adult supervision may be necessary for younger enthusiasts.
- What makes the 60-strand wire construction better than alternatives? — The 60-strand construction provides superior conductivity and flexibility compared to solid core or lower-strand alternatives. Each strand allows current to flow more evenly, reduces resistance heating, and the multiple strands allow the cable to flex and bend without cracking, extending the lifespan of the lead during active use.
- Will this lead work with my RC servo or receiver? — This Y lead features standard JR connectors, so it will work with any RC component that uses JR connector sockets, including most servos and receiver modules. However, always verify your specific components use JR connectors before purchasing.
- What is the outer diameter and why does it matter? — At 1.5mm outer diameter, this lead is compact enough to fit through tight spaces in your RC chassis without creating cable management issues, whilst still maintaining the heavy-duty 60-strand wire specification inside.
- How long is the lead and is that long enough for my RC car? — The lead is 300mm (approximately 11.81 inches) total length including both connectors. This length is suitable for most standard RC cars and trucks, allowing you to connect components that are moderately spaced apart without excessive cable length creating clutter inside your chassis.
