Reedy low-profile connectors & 13-gauge silicone wire

Team Associated have introduced the new Reedy 13-gauge Pro silicone wire and low-profile caged bullet-type connectors. Starting with the connectors, they feature a flat top for easy soldering and a versatile caged design that easily adapts to the slight variation in socket sizes found among different battery types and manufacturers. A snug fit and silver plating means less power loss due to resistance while 14mm length makes them a suitable for use with most socket style batteries. The connectors are available in 4mm and 5mm variants and in 2-piece or 10-piece packages. The new 13-gauge Pro silicone wire is a pure copper and pre-tinned variant for easy soldering. A heavy-duty silicone insulation protects the wire from cuts while maintaining maximum flexibility. The special diameter makes it usable for both on-road and off-road applications as it offers the best compromise between resistance and weight. The wire is available in 1m or 30m coils.

Star Plug T-type high-current connectors

New from Hobbico come the Star Plug T-type high-current connectors. Compatible with the iconic Deans Ultra Plug they sport an updated design that does away with the need to use shrink tube on the exposed terminals as they are covered by a snap-on back cap cover. A tapered shape and grip strips make for fast and easy separation of the male and female part while gold-plated male terminals allow for excellent conductivity and nickel-plated female terminals improve wear resistance and life. The plugs are usable with up to 12AWG wire when using the back covers and with thicker 10AWG wire without covers.

TQ Wire 5mm bullet-type connectors

TQ Wire have new 5mm bullet-type connectors with gold or silver plating available. They are only 13mm long, saving weight for touring and pan cars, and are made in a special way where the brass stock is copper clad first before the silver plating is applied, increasing conductivity. The connectors are ideal for the latest breed of high-performance LiPo packs with larger 5mm connector tubes.

µ-Pro bullet plugs & Super-12 AWG wire

With increasing power delivery from brushless motors and lithium polymer batteries, internal resistance of device-to-device interconnects and electrical contacts have become more critical parts for today’s R/C car racing. µ-Pro has targeted the market needs and come out with the male bullet plugs and the “Super-12” AWG wire. The bullet plugs minimize contact resistance. They come in two sizes, with diameter ø4mm and ø5mm, these sizes working with the latest available lithium polymer batteries. The “Super-12” AWG wire claims to have a higher current density capability than ordinary 12 AWG wires available in the market.
