Key Features
- Female Micro Tamiya Connector — This connector type is one of the most popular interfaces found on RC models and accessories across the UK RC hobby community. The female configuration allows you to connect to corresponding male connectors on batteries, chargers, and model wiring, making it an essential spare for any serious RC enthusiast.
- Pre-Wired 10cm Fly Lead — Rather than requiring you to solder and prepare the connector yourself, this product arrives ready to use with a complete 10cm lead already attached. The fly lead approach saves time and eliminates the need for soldering skills, making it perfect for quick repairs and straightforward installation on your RC car UK or other models.
- 18AWG Silicone Wire Construction — The use of 18AWG gauge silicone wire ensures excellent flexibility and durability while maintaining reliable current-carrying capacity for most standard RC applications. Silicone insulation is superior to PVC as it resists heat, maintains flexibility in cold conditions, and offers improved longevity, making it ideal for the demanding environment of RC hobby use.
- Straight Connector Interface — The straightforward design means compatibility with any RC model or accessory featuring a Micro Tamiya male connector, from battery leads to charger connections. This universality makes it an invaluable addition to your RC spares kit.
- Immediate Availability — Usually ships same day from UK stock, ensuring you can get your RC models back in action without lengthy delays. This is particularly important for competitive RC racers and serious hobbyists who cannot afford extended downtime.
Technical Performance
The Etronix ET0627 female Micro Tamiya connector is engineered from quality materials designed to withstand the rigorous demands of RC hobby use. The 18AWG silicone wire provides an optimal balance between flexibility and current capacity, suitable for typical RC battery and charger applications. The Micro Tamiya connector format itself is recognised as a robust, reliable interface that maintains excellent contact integrity through repeated connection and disconnection cycles—essential when you're regularly swapping batteries between your ready to run RC vehicles or maintaining multiple brushless RC models. The silicone wire insulation ensures that the lead remains flexible and responsive even when exposed to the heat generated during charging or operation, and resists degradation from UV exposure and temperature extremes far better than conventional PVC-insulated alternatives. The 10cm length provides sufficient flexibility for routing within tight spaces on modern RC models whilst remaining compact enough for neat installation. This connector specification is widely used throughout the RC car UK hobby and is the standard interface found on numerous quality batteries, chargers, and ESC leads.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Micro Tamiya connector and why would I need one? — The Micro Tamiya connector (sometimes called a Mini Tamiya connector) is a small, polarised connector format widely used in RC hobby applications. You would need this female connector if you're building or repairing RC models that use this standard, or if you're replacing a damaged lead on existing batteries or chargers. It's one of the most common interfaces in the RC car UK hobby.
- Is this connector suitable for brushless RC systems? — Yes, absolutely. The 18AWG silicone wire is perfectly suited for use with brushless RC motors and ESCs in standard 1/10 and 1/8 scale applications. However, if you're using particularly high-discharge batteries or high-powered systems, always verify that your specific battery and charger are rated for the Micro Tamiya connector format.
- Can I use this for both battery and charger connections? — Yes, this female Micro Tamiya connector can be used wherever a female Micro Tamiya interface is required, including battery leads, charger connections, and other RC model accessories. Always check your specific equipment to ensure compatibility before installation.
- Do I need to solder anything to use this product? — No, this is a major advantage of this product. The connector comes pre-wired and ready to use. You simply connect it to your corresponding male connector—no soldering required. This makes it ideal for quick repairs and for hobbyists who may not have soldering experience.
- What is the difference between this and a soldered connector? — Pre-wired connectors like this offer convenience, reliability, and repeatability without requiring soldering equipment or skills. A properly pre-wired connector provides professional-quality connections with consistent contact resistance. For those who prefer to build connectors from bare components, soldering is an option, but this fly lead eliminates that need entirely.
- Is 10cm long enough for my application? — The 10cm length is versatile enough for most RC battery to ESC or charger connections. If you need a longer lead, you would require a different product specification. Always measure your routing path before purchasing to ensure the length meets your needs.
- Will this connector fit all Micro Tamiya systems? — Yes, the Micro Tamiya (Mini Tamiya) standard is consistent across manufacturers. This female connector will mate with any male Micro Tamiya connector regardless of manufacturer. However, always check that your battery, charger, or model actually uses Micro Tamiya connectors before purchasing—some RC systems use different connector types.
