Overview
The Futaba Futaba to ZH Lead for SVI Servos 100mm (FUTEBB0152) is a precision-engineered adapter cable designed for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and compatibility in their radio control setups. This compact lead measures 100mm in length, making it ideal for creating clean, tidy connections in RC car installations, RC helicopter builds, and other radio control applications where space is at a premium. Whether you're setting up a new RC model or upgrading your existing fleet, this Futaba connector lead ensures seamless integration between your servo equipment and SVI servo systems.
Manufactured by Futaba, the world-leading RC brand established in 1948 and a trusted name in radio control since 1962, this adapter lead represents the quality and precision you can expect from an industry pioneer. The cable features both Futaba and ZH terminations, making it a versatile solution for users who work with multiple servo connector types. With its black finish and robust construction, the FUTEBB0152 is built to withstand the demands of regular RC use, whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual RC car driving or a more serious hobbyist fine-tuning your competition-grade setup.
This adapter lead is recommended for users aged 14 and above, making it suitable for both experienced RC pilots and enthusiasts stepping up to more advanced radio control configurations. The 100mm length is particularly valuable for installations where space constraints require compact cabling solutions, eliminating the need for longer leads that would create unnecessary clutter in your RC model's interior. If you're building or maintaining SVI servos that utilise ZH connectors, this Futaba lead provides the reliable connection you need to keep your RC equipment operating at peak performance.
Key Features

- Black Finish — The professional black colour ensures the cable blends seamlessly with most RC equipment and servo installations, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your carefully constructed radio control model.
- SVI Servo Compatibility — Specifically engineered for SVI servos that utilise ZH connectors, this lead eliminates guesswork and compatibility concerns when upgrading or replacing servo connections in your RC setup.
- Backed by Official UK Support — As a genuine Futaba product distributed through J Perkins (the official UK and Ireland Futaba distributor established in 1975), you have access to full spares support, expert advice, and customer care from a company with 50 years of RC retail experience.
Technical Performance
The Futaba Futaba to ZH Lead for SVI Servos 100mm exemplifies the precision engineering that has made Futaba a cornerstone of the RC hobby worldwide. The cable construction utilises reliable connector technology proven through thousands of RC installations across cars, trucks, helicopters, aeroplanes and other radio control vehicles. The 100mm length has been carefully calculated to accommodate the most common servo installation scenarios whilst minimising excess cable that would otherwise create messy internal routing issues. The dual termination design (Futaba to ZH) means you're not locked into a single connector standard, providing flexibility as you build or maintain multiple SVI servo systems. The black colour finish is chosen not merely for aesthetics but because it aids in professional cable management within your RC model, helping you distinguish between different servo control lines at a glance. The engineering specifications follow Futaba's rigorous quality standards, ensuring that the connector pins maintain secure contact, the cable shielding prevents electromagnetic interference that could affect your RC's performance, and the overall construction will endure countless connecting and disconnecting cycles without degradation. Whether you're operating your RC car on UK race tracks, in countryside terrain, or during competitive events, this adapter lead provides the electrical reliability and mechanical durability your radio control equipment demands.
