Key Features
- Male MPX (Multiplex-style) Connector — This is the industry-standard connector type used across most RC battery packs, ESCs, and chargers in the UK market, ensuring excellent compatibility with your existing RC equipment and systems.
- 10cm Pre-Attached Silicone Wire — The connector comes with a generous 10 centimetre length of wire already soldered in place, saving you hours of assembly time and delivering a professional finish without the need for additional soldering work.
- 14AWG Silicone Wire — The 14 American Wire Gauge rating indicates a wire of appropriate thickness for reliable power transmission in RC applications, whilst the silicone insulation provides flexibility and durability that standard PVC wire cannot match.
- Flexible Silicone Construction — Unlike rigid PVC alternatives, the silicone wire remains flexible even in cold conditions, making routing through tight spaces, battery compartments, and chassis tunnels much easier without risk of cracking or breaking.
- Ready-to-Use Solution — This is not a bare connector requiring assembly; it's a complete, tested lead that you can use immediately for custom adapters, repairs, or extensions on your RC models without any additional preparation.
- Compact and Lightweight — The 10cm length makes this ideal for applications where space is limited, such as creating custom battery connectors, repair leads, or tidy integration with ESCs and chargers.
- Professional Quality for Custom Work — Perfect for RC hobbyists who want to create clean, bespoke solutions rather than relying on generic universal adapters that may compromise your setup's appearance or reliability.
Technical Performance
The Etronix ET0622 represents solid engineering for RC enthusiasts working with Multiplex-style connector systems. The 14AWG silicone wire is specifically chosen for RC applications because it provides the right balance between current-carrying capacity, flexibility, and reliability. Silicone insulation is superior to standard PVC in RC environments because it maintains its properties across a wider temperature range, won't become brittle in winter conditions, and resists the oils and solvents found in RC workshop environments. The 10 centimetre length is optimised for most RC adapter and extension applications, whether you're working with battery packs, electronic speed controllers, or charger connections. The male MPX connector itself is precision-engineered to provide secure, reliable contact with female MPX sockets found across the majority of modern RC battery packs and ESC systems in the UK market. This is a product built to the standards that serious RC competitors, weekend bashers, and dedicated hobbyists expect—no shortcuts, no compromise on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an MPX connector and why do I need one for my RC car or truck? — MPX (Multiplex-style) connectors are industry-standard plugs used to connect RC battery packs to electronic speed controllers, chargers, and other equipment. If your RC model uses an MPX connector system, having spare male connectors with quality wire allows you to create custom leads, repair damaged connections, or build adapters without purchasing entirely new battery packs or controller units.
- Can I use this connector with my RC battery charger? — Yes, the male MPX connector is commonly used on chargers and many battery packs across RC applications. However, always verify that your specific charger and battery pack use MPX-style connectors before purchasing. Check your equipment's user manual or the connector type marked on the product itself.
- Is 14AWG wire thick enough for my RC battery and ESC setup? — The 14AWG silicone wire is appropriate for most standard RC applications using LiPo batteries and typical brushless ESCs. If you're running extremely high-current systems or racing-spec equipment with multiple batteries in parallel, you may need thicker wire gauges; consult your ESC and battery manufacturer's specifications for guidance on wire gauge requirements.
- Why should I choose silicone wire instead of standard PVC? — Silicone wire is superior for RC applications because it remains flexible across a much wider temperature range, won't crack or become brittle in cold conditions, and is more resistant to oils, solvents, and the wear-and-tear of frequent RC model use. It's the professional choice for serious RC enthusiasts who want durability and reliability.
- How long is the 10cm wire, and is that long enough? — 10 centimetres is approximately 4 inches, which is ideal for most RC battery-to-ESC connections and custom adapter work. This length allows neat routing without excess wire bunching, though you can always extend further by soldering additional wire if your application requires longer runs.
- Can I solder this connector to extend it or create custom adapters? — Yes, the silicone wire attached to this connector is fully solderable, making it perfect for building custom leads, adding length, or creating bespoke adapter solutions for your specific RC setup. The silicone insulation works well with standard RC soldering techniques.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is best suited for RC enthusiasts with basic soldering skills or those who need replacement connectors for existing setups. Complete beginners should start with ready-to-run RC models that come fully assembled, but once you've got some RC experience and understand your equipment, this connector becomes an invaluable workshop accessory.
- What RC applications can I use this for? — This connector is suitable for any RC equipment using MPX-style connections, including: creating custom battery leads, repairing damaged connections on RC cars and trucks, building extensions for your RC battery packs, making adapters between equipment, and performing maintenance on RC crawlers, buggies, monster trucks, and other vehicles that use MPX connectors.
