Overview
The Etronix Male Deans To 3.5mm Connector Adaptor ET0835 is an essential adapter cable for RC enthusiasts in the UK who need to bridge different connector types in their battery systems and power setups. This compact adaptor allows you to connect Male Deans plugs to 3.5mm connectors, making it incredibly useful for expanding the compatibility of your RC car UK fleet or other RC hobby equipment. Whether you're running brushless RC cars, electric RC trucks, or any powered RC model that uses Deans connectors, this adapter provides a reliable solution for mixing and matching battery connectors without the need for expensive rewiring or replacement battery packs.
Deans connectors (also known as T-plugs) are widely used throughout the RC hobby for their secure connection and low-resistance properties, whilst 3.5mm connectors are common in many chargers, speed controllers and battery management systems. The Etronix Male Deans To 3.5mm Connector Adaptor bridges this gap, allowing seamless integration between different power systems. This is particularly valuable for RC hobbyists who have accumulated equipment from various manufacturers or who are upgrading their setups incrementally. The adaptor is designed to handle the electrical demands of modern RC batteries and electronics, making it suitable for everything from ready to run RC cars to more advanced setups.
As part of the extensive Etronix adaptor cable range, this product reflects decades of RC manufacturing expertise and quality control standards. The connector is built to provide reliable, secure contact between your Deans male plug and 3.5mm female socket, ensuring safe power transfer without voltage drop or connection failures. Whether you're setting up a new RC car UK build, maintaining an existing fleet, or experimenting with different battery configurations, having quality adapter cables like the ET0835 in your workshop is essential for hassle-free operation and maximum flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Deans and 3.5mm connectors in RC applications? — Deans connectors (T-plugs) are larger, high-current connectors commonly used on RC batteries and speed controllers, whilst 3.5mm connectors are smaller connectors typically found on chargers, balancers and battery management systems. This adaptor allows equipment using these different standards to work together safely.
- Is this adaptor suitable for LiPo batteries? — Yes, this adaptor is specifically designed for use with modern LiPo RC batteries across multiple cell counts (2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, 6S configurations). It maintains electrical safety and efficiency with lithium polymer battery systems commonly used in ready to run RC cars UK and custom builds.
- Can I use this adaptor with brushless RC cars? — Absolutely. This adaptor works with any brushless RC car, truck or buggy that uses Male Deans connectors, as long as the device on the other end has a 3.5mm female socket. It's commonly used to connect Deans batteries to 3.5mm charger ports or other compatible equipment.
- Will this adaptor work with my RC charger? — If your RC charger features a 3.5mm charging port and you wish to use a battery with a Male Deans connector, this adaptor provides the perfect solution. Check your charger's specifications to confirm the connector type before purchasing.
- How does this compare to other Etronix adapter cables? — Etronix manufactures a comprehensive range of adapter cables for different connector combinations including Male Deans to 4.0mm, Male Deans to Female EC3, and many others. The ET0835 specifically addresses the Deans to 3.5mm requirement, filling a specific compatibility gap in RC power systems.
- Is the connection secure and safe? — Yes, the adaptor is engineered with precision tolerances to ensure secure mating between the Male Deans plug and 3.5mm socket. The solid electrical contact minimises heat generation and maintains safe power transfer, a critical consideration when working with high-discharge-rate RC batteries.
