Key Features
- 5.0mm Gold Connectors — Gold plating ensures superior electrical conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance, which means your connections remain reliable and efficient even during extended use or in varying weather conditions. Unlike cheaper alternatives, gold connectors maintain consistent performance across numerous connect-disconnect cycles.
- Male Connector Type — These are male connectors, designed to insert into female receptacles, giving you the flexibility to integrate them into a wide range of RC electronic configurations and wiring setups commonly used across RC hobby applications.
- Supplied as a Pair — You receive two connectors in each pack, providing immediate spares or enough to complete a typical connection requirement, meaning you won't be left short during your RC project or maintenance work.
- Compact Form Factor — The 5.0mm size keeps the overall profile of your connections minimal and tidy, which is essential for maintaining clean wiring in tight spaces within RC vehicle electronics bays and control systems.
- Replacement and Spares Ready — Designed specifically as a handy spares or replacement option, these connectors are perfect to keep permanently in your pit box or workshop for those moments when you need to swap out worn or damaged connectors quickly.

Technical Performance
The eTronix 5.0mm Male Gold Connector represents solid engineering design focused on delivering reliable electrical connections for RC electronics. Gold plating provides exceptional conductivity properties, ensuring minimal voltage drop across the connection and maintaining efficient power delivery to your RC components. The 5.0mm size has become a recognised standard in the RC hobby throughout the UK and beyond, appearing on countless battery packs, speed controllers, and motor connectors across different brands and vehicle types. The male configuration allows these connectors to insert into standard female receptacles found on most RC hobby electronics. Each connector in the pair is identically manufactured to maintain consistency across your builds, and the compact design ensures that your RC wiring remains neat and organised within the confines of your vehicle's chassis. The gold finish resists oxidation and corrosion far more effectively than bare metal or cheaper plating alternatives, meaning your connections remain reliable across multiple seasons of use, storage periods, and varying weather conditions that RC vehicles commonly encounter during outdoor operation.
