It's an affordable, practical solution that saves time, money and frustration when dealing with different connector standards in your RC hobby setup.
As a key component for RC modellers in the UK, this adaptor represents smart accessory thinking—solving a real compatibility problem without requiring soldering skills or complex modifications. Whether you're a seasoned competitor, weekend basher, or discovering RC for the first time, having the right adaptors on hand makes your hobby more enjoyable and flexible.
Key Features
- Female Micro Tamiya connector — This end of the adaptor accepts standard Micro Tamiya connectors, allowing you to plug in Micro Tamiya-equipped battery packs, chargers and power leads directly into the adaptor without any modification or soldering required.
- Male EC3 connector — The opposite end features a male EC3 connector, which allows the adaptor to connect seamlessly with any equipment or accessories that have female EC3 sockets, including many popular ESCs, chargers and power distribution systems.
- Compact, portable design — The adaptor is small enough to fit easily into your RC field box, tool bag or equipment case, making it convenient to carry between different RC locations and venues across the UK without adding significant weight or bulk to your gear.
- No soldering required — By using ready-made connectors on both ends, this adaptor eliminates the need for any soldering work, making it accessible to RC hobbyists of all skill levels and saving you valuable time at the track or bash site.
- Reliable connector interface — The precision-engineered connectors ensure a secure, stable electrical connection between your Micro Tamiya and EC3 systems, helping to maintain consistent power delivery to your RC equipment without connection drops or performance issues.
- Cost-effective solution — Rather than purchasing entirely new battery packs or chargers to match your connector systems, this adaptor provides an economical way to bridge connector types and maximise the value of your existing RC equipment investment.
Technical Performance
The Etronix Female Micro Tamiya To Male EC3 Adaptor is engineered to provide reliable connectivity between two industry-standard RC power connector systems. The adaptor features a female Micro Tamiya connector socket on one end and a male EC3 connector on the other, allowing it to serve as a bridge between battery packs, ESCs, chargers and other power distribution equipment that use these connector standards. The construction uses gold-plated connector contacts to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, which is particularly important for maintaining reliable power delivery in field conditions and preventing voltage drop that could affect RC car performance. The adaptor is designed to handle the current demands of typical RC battery systems without overheating or signal loss, making it suitable for use with standard LiPo packs, NiMH batteries and other power sources commonly used in RC vehicles across the UK hobby. The compact size and lightweight construction mean the adaptor adds virtually no weight to your RC setup whilst providing essential connector compatibility, and the durable connector contacts are designed to withstand repeated connections and disconnections without degradation.
