Key Features

• Holds connectors steady during soldering — The primary function of this jig board is to securely grip and position electrical connectors in place whilst you work, eliminating the need to balance components by hand and significantly reducing the risk of accidental slips or misaligned joints that could compromise your RC model's performance or safety.
• Aluminium construction for durability — Built from aluminium, this jig board provides a solid, durable base that's resistant to wear and damage from repeated workshop use, heat exposure, and the general demands of regular soldering work, ensuring it remains flat and reliable year after year.
• Supports tidy, repeatable joints — By maintaining consistent connector alignment and positioning throughout the soldering process, this jig board helps you achieve professional-quality joints with improved consistency, which is particularly important when working on critical electrical connections in RC cars where poor soldering can lead to performance issues or safety hazards.
• Helps keep your workspace organised — Using a dedicated jig board encourages better workshop practices and keeps your soldering station tidy and organised, reducing the clutter that often accumulates when improvising solutions for holding components in place.
• Compact and portable design — The relatively compact size of this jig board makes it easy to position on your workbench, store when not in use, and even transport if you're working on RC projects at different locations or attending RC events and competitions across the UK.
• Suitable for RC modelling and general electronics — Whilst purpose-built with RC enthusiasts in mind, this jig board is versatile enough to be useful for any soldering task involving electrical connectors, from drone assembly to general electronics projects, making it a valuable multi-purpose tool.

Technical Performance

The Etronix Aluminium Connector Soldering Jig Board is engineered with simplicity and reliability in mind, using a high-quality aluminium construction that provides excellent thermal properties and durability for workshop applications. The aluminium base offers superior flatness and stability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring that connectors remain precisely aligned and secure throughout the soldering process. The board's design accommodates standard electrical connectors commonly used in RC applications, including XT connectors, Deans connectors, and other popular connector types found in RC cars, brushless motor setups, and battery assemblies. The solid aluminium construction means the jig board remains stable and won't flex or shift when you're applying heat and solder to connectors, which is essential for achieving clean joints and preventing damage to sensitive components. This is particularly important when working with modern brushless RC systems where proper electrical connections are critical for reliable performance. The board is suitable for both hobby-grade and more serious competitive RC work, providing professional-grade functionality at an accessible price point for RC enthusiasts throughout the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What electrical connectors does this soldering jig board work with? — The Etronix jig board is designed to work with standard electrical connectors commonly used in RC applications, including XT connectors, Deans connectors, and other popular connector types found in RC cars, brushless ESC setups, and LiPo battery packs. If you're unsure whether your specific connector type is compatible, please contact our team at RC Model Shop and we'll be happy to advise.
• Is this suitable for beginners in RC modelling? — Absolutely. This jig board is ideal for beginners who are just starting to learn soldering and basic electrical assembly. By removing the challenge of holding connectors in place by hand, it allows you to focus on developing proper soldering technique and creating reliable connections, which is an essential skill for anyone building or maintaining RC models.
• Do I need any special equipment to use this jig board? — No, the jig board is designed to work with any standard soldering iron and solder. You'll simply position your connectors in the jig, secure them, and then solder them together using your regular soldering equipment. It's completely passive and requires no special tools or setup.
• Is the aluminium construction safe for soldering? — Yes, absolutely. Aluminium is an excellent choice for soldering jigs because it conducts heat well and is resistant to damage from soldering irons. The aluminium base won't warp or melt when exposed to standard soldering temperatures, and it won't interfere with your soldering work.
• Can I use this for other electronics projects besides RC? — Yes, this jig board is versatile and can be used for any general electronics soldering work that involves electrical connectors. Whether you're working on drones, custom electronics, or general hobby projects, if you need to solder connectors securely, this board will help you achieve better results.
• How does this compare to just holding connectors by hand? — Holding connectors by hand whilst soldering is difficult, dangerous, and often results in poorly aligned joints. This jig board frees up both your hands so you can safely manage your soldering iron and solder separately, resulting in cleaner joints, reduced risk of burns or accidental damage, and a much more professional outcome.
