Key Features
- Male Micro Tamiya Connector — The connector itself is a male Micro Tamiya type, which is the industry-standard connection format for small-scale RC applications, RC batteries, chargers and compact electronics, ensuring compatibility with thousands of existing RC products and components.
- 10cm Pre-Wired Fly Lead — Rather than buying a bare connector and soldering your own leads, this product arrives with 10cm of wire already attached and terminated, saving you valuable time and effort during your RC build or repair project.
- 18AWG Silicone Wire — The wire gauge is 18AWG, which provides appropriate current-carrying capacity for typical small-scale RC applications whilst remaining flexible and lightweight, and the silicone insulation is superior to standard PVC as it resists cracking, maintains flexibility in cold temperatures and withstands the vibration and heat cycling common in RC environments.
- Compact Design for Space-Saving Installations — The short 10cm lead creates a tidy, compact pigtail that fits perfectly in small-scale models and tight battery compartments where longer leads would create clutter or require excessive coiling.
- Ready to Use Out of the Box — No soldering, crimping or assembly required; simply unpack and integrate into your RC project immediately, making this ideal for beginners and experienced builders alike who want a quick, reliable solution.
- Multiple Application Options — Use this connector for creating or repairing short charge leads, building custom power jumpers, connecting RC batteries to chargers, interfacing with small electronics, or establishing reliable power connections throughout your RC system.
Technical Performance
The Etronix ET0626 represents a fundamental but crucial component in RC electrical systems. The 18AWG silicone wire is engineered to handle the power demands of typical small-scale RC models and compact electronics whilst remaining flexible enough to route through confined spaces without permanent deformation. Silicone insulation, unlike traditional PVC, maintains its integrity across wide temperature ranges, resists UV degradation, and offers superior flexibility even after extended use in RC environments subject to vibration, thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The Male Micro Tamiya connector itself is a standardised, widely-recognised connection interface that has become the de facto choice for small-scale RC batteries, chargers and electronic components throughout the UK RC hobby and internationally. The 10cm length strikes an ideal balance between providing sufficient lead length for flexible routing and maintaining the compact profile essential for space-constrained small-scale models. Whether you're integrating this connector into custom wiring harnesses for RC crawlers, repairing damaged battery leads on RC buggies, establishing charge connections for your RC battery collection, or interfacing with auxiliary electronics in your RC vehicle, the ET0626 delivers reliable performance with professional build quality and consistent electrical conductivity.
