Overview
The eTronix 2.0mm Gold Connectors (2Pr) represent an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable electrical connections in their RC cars, trucks, and other scale models. Whether you're building a custom RC setup, maintaining an existing fleet, or upgrading your RC hobby equipment, these gold connectors deliver the performance and dependability you need. Supplied as two pairs of matching connectors with a premium gold finish, this pack (ET0609) provides straightforward connectivity when 2.0mm gold connectors are required for your RC vehicle.
Gold connectors are a critical component in any RC car UK setup because they ensure minimal electrical resistance, superior conductivity, and reliable power delivery to your motor and electronic speed controller. Unlike standard connectors, gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and oxidation, maintaining consistent performance even in demanding conditions or extended storage periods. For RC enthusiasts who take their hobby seriously—whether you're racing competitive circuits, bashing off-road terrain, or enjoying casual weekend runs—quality connectors directly impact your vehicle's performance and reliability.
The eTronix brand is recognised throughout the UK RC community for manufacturing quality electrical accessories that meet the needs of beginner and experienced hobbyists alike. This particular connector pack offers exceptional value, giving you two complete pairs (four individual connectors total) in a single purchase. The 2.0mm connector size is a common standard across many RC applications, making these connectors versatile for various ESC and battery configurations used in modern RC models.
Key Features
- 2.0mm Connector Size — The 2.0mm diameter is a standard connector specification widely used across RC applications, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of brushless ESCs, LiPo batteries, and RC components commonly found in the UK RC market, from entry-level ready-to-run models to competition-grade setups.
- Gold Finish Contacts — Premium gold plating provides superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard connectors, which means your RC car will maintain optimal power delivery and consistent performance over extended use and multiple charging cycles.
- Two Pairs Supplied — This pack delivers four individual connectors (two complete male/female pairs), giving you spare connectors for repairs, replacements, or building multiple RC car configurations without needing to purchase additional packs.
- Reliable Connection Quality — eTronix connectors are engineered to provide secure, stable connections that minimise contact resistance and voltage drop, ensuring your brushless motor receives maximum available power for improved acceleration and responsiveness.
- Straightforward Installation — These connectors are designed for simple soldering directly onto your ESC, battery, and motor leads, making them suitable for anyone with basic RC assembly skills and a soldering iron.
Technical Performance
The eTronix 2.0mm Gold Connectors are manufactured to deliver reliable electrical performance in demanding RC applications. The gold finish on the connector contacts provides significantly better electrical properties than nickel-plated or bare metal alternatives—gold exhibits excellent conductivity, resists oxidation naturally, and maintains its surface quality through repeated connection and disconnection cycles. This is particularly important for RC enthusiasts who frequently swap batteries or reconfigure their vehicles. The 2.0mm diameter specification is a widely recognised standard in the RC car UK market, providing compatibility with the vast majority of modern brushless ESC units and LiPo battery pack connectors. Each connector pair is carefully manufactured to ensure proper contact tension and reliable mating without excessive force or risk of damage to components. The connectors work seamlessly with standard soldering techniques, allowing you to establish permanent, high-quality connections to your motor windings, ESC input/output leads, and battery terminals. For RC enthusiasts building custom brushless setups, competing in organised racing events, or simply maintaining their RC vehicles to the highest standards, quality connectors like these eTronix units are non-negotiable components that directly contribute to overall system reliability, consistency, and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are 2.0mm connectors compatible with my RC car's ESC and battery? — The 2.0mm connector size is a widely used standard across many brushless ESC units and LiPo battery packs in the RC car UK market. However, you should verify your specific ESC and battery connector specifications before purchasing, as some vehicles use alternative connector sizes such as 3.5mm or larger formats. Check your vehicle's manual or connector type to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What makes gold connectors better than standard connectors? — Gold plating provides superior electrical conductivity, naturally resists corrosion and oxidation, and maintains consistent connection quality through multiple connect/disconnect cycles. This means your RC car will experience better power delivery, improved motor performance, and longer connector lifespan compared to standard nickel-plated or bare metal connectors.
- How many connectors do I get in this pack? — This pack (ET0609) contains two complete pairs, which means four individual connectors total—enough to service two separate RC vehicles or provide spare connectors for repairs and maintenance.
- Do I need any tools to install these connectors? — Yes, you will need a soldering iron and solder to permanently attach these connectors to your motor leads, ESC terminals, and battery connections. Basic soldering skills and experience are required for proper installation. If you are unfamiliar with soldering, consider seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts or visiting your local RC shop for professional help.
- Are these connectors suitable for high-current applications? — The 2.0mm connector size is designed for moderate to high-current applications typical of brushless RC cars and trucks. However, extreme high-power setups with very large brushless motors (such as 1/5 scale vehicles with massive ESC ratings) may require larger connector sizes like 5.5mm or 6.5mm for optimal current handling capacity.
