Etronix Mini Tamiya Male Block Female Connector Crimps ET0794M

Overview

The Etronix Mini Tamiya Male Block & Female Connector Crimps (ET0794M) are essential components for any RC enthusiast in the UK who needs to build, repair or customise Mini Tamiya-style connections on their RC models. Whether you're working with RC car batteries, speed controllers, charger leads, or any other hobby-grade RC equipment that uses Mini Tamiya connectors, this product provides everything you need to create reliable, professional-quality connections. These are the core building blocks for assembling custom leads or replacing worn and damaged connectors on your RC car UK setup.

Mini Tamiya connectors are widely recognised across the RC hobby as a standard connector type used on many popular RC batteries, ESCs (electronic speed controllers) and charger leads. If you're a regular RC enthusiast—whether you're running a ready to run RC model or a custom build—you'll eventually need to either repair an old connector or create a new custom lead. Having quality replacement components like these on hand means you can keep your RC car running without having to purchase entirely new batteries or leads. The Etronix brand is trusted throughout the RC hobby community for producing quality electrical components at affordable prices.

This product is ideal for hobbyists of all skill levels, from beginners just starting out in the RC car UK scene to experienced racers and bashers who maintain their own equipment. The combination of male housing and matching female crimp terminals gives you the flexibility to assemble exactly the type of connection you need, making this a versatile addition to any RC toolkit.

Key Features

• Mini Tamiya Male Block Housing — This is the male connector block that forms one half of the Mini Tamiya connection standard. The male housing is designed to mate securely with corresponding female connectors, ensuring a tight fit that won't come loose during aggressive driving or racing. Having a quality male block is essential for creating reliable connections that will withstand the vibration and movement of active RC use.
• Matching Female Crimp Terminals — These female connector crimp terminals are specifically engineered to work with the male block housing included in this set. The crimps are designed to accept wire of the appropriate gauge, and when properly crimped using a suitable crimping tool, they create a secure mechanical and electrical connection that transmits power reliably to your RC car's electronics.
• Build or Repair Custom Leads — Whether you need to create a completely custom battery lead, charger lead, or ESC connection, or whether you're repairing a worn connector on an existing lead, this product gives you the core components to do so. This flexibility means you're not locked into buying complete new leads when only the connector needs replacing, saving money over time.
• ETronix Quality and Reliability — ETronix components are known throughout the RC hobby for consistent quality and reliability. These connector components are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring that they work perfectly with standard Mini Tamiya connectors used on RC batteries, speed controllers and chargers from leading brands.
• Professional Assembly Capability — These components allow you to assemble connections in a professional manner, rather than relying on soldering or other ad-hoc methods. When used with a proper crimping tool, the crimps create repeatable, reliable terminations that are the industry standard in RC applications.

Technical Performance

The Etronix Mini Tamiya Male Block & Female Connector Crimps are engineered to the Mini Tamiya connector standard, which is one of the most widely used connector standards in the RC hobby. The male block housing is designed with precision to ensure a secure mechanical fit with corresponding female connectors, preventing accidental disconnection during use. The female crimp terminals are manufactured from high-quality conductive material that maintains excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring minimal resistance in the power path to your RC car's electronics. The crimps are designed to work with wire of appropriate gauge for RC applications—typically ranging from 10AWG to 12AWG depending on the current load and wire availability in your specific setup. When properly assembled using a quality crimping tool, these components create terminations that are equivalent to professionally manufactured leads, with secure mechanical connections that prevent wire pull-out and consistent electrical contact. The design follows industry-standard specifications for Mini Tamiya connectors, meaning these components will work seamlessly with RC batteries, brushless ESCs, chargers and other RC car UK equipment that uses this connector type. For serious RC enthusiasts who maintain their own equipment or build custom setups, having quality connector components on hand means you can tackle repairs and modifications quickly without waiting for replacement leads to arrive.

What's in the Box

• 1x Mini Tamiya male block housing
• Female connector crimp terminals (multiple)

What You Need to Complete

• A suitable crimping tool — Essential for securely attaching the female crimp terminals to your wire. A quality crimping tool designed for connector work ensures you create professional-grade terminations that won't fail under use.
• Appropriate gauge wire — You'll need wire of the correct gauge for your application. For most RC car applications using Mini Tamiya connectors, 10AWG to 12AWG wire is typical, though this depends on the current requirements of your specific setup.
• Basic electrical knowledge — Understanding wire polarity (positive and negative) is essential before final assembly. Always check and double-check polarity before completing your connections to avoid damage to RC equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Mini Tamiya connector and why would I need replacement crimps? — The Mini Tamiya connector is a standard power connector used on many RC batteries, speed controllers, and charger leads in the hobby. Over time, connectors can wear out, become corroded, or become damaged through heavy use. Rather than replacing an entire battery or lead, these crimp components allow you to rebuild the connector on existing wires, extending the life of expensive RC components.
• Is a crimping tool absolutely necessary for this product? — Yes, a proper crimping tool is essential for achieving reliable, repeatable terminations. While some users attempt to use pliers or other tools, this typically results in poor connections that can fail during use or create intermittent electrical problems. A quality crimping tool designed for connector work is a worthwhile investment for any RC enthusiast who plans to maintain their own equipment.
• What wire gauge should I use with these Mini Tamiya crimps? — The source material indicates these crimps work with standard Mini Tamiya connector wire specifications. For most RC applications, 10AWG to 12AWG wire is appropriate, though you should verify the correct gauge for your specific application based on the current draw of your RC car's electronics and battery.
• Can I use these crimps with non-Tamiya equipment? — These components are specifically designed for Mini Tamiya-style connectors. If your RC car or equipment uses a different connector standard (such as XT60, Deans, or EC connectors), you would need the appropriate crimps for that specific connector type.
• How do I know I'm assembling the connector correctly? — Always ensure you understand which terminal is positive and which is negative before crimping. Check wire polarity carefully before final assembly, as connecting polarity incorrectly could damage your RC car's electronics. The Etronix product should come with documentation showing correct assembly, and many online RC resources provide detailed guides on assembling Mini Tamiya connectors correctly.
• Are these genuine Etronix components? — Yes, when purchased from RC Model Shop, you're receiving genuine Etronix components manufactured to the brand's quality standards. Etronix is a trusted name in RC electrical components, recognised by RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and worldwide.
