Cables and Wire

This style of high-current connector is commonly used with the 7.2V sub-C battery packs that power many RC cars. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed, and a latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected. This female Tamiya connector has 10cm 14-AWG leads with stripped and tinned terminations.

This connector, a smaller version of the female Tamiya plug, is commonly used with battery packs for RC applications. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed, and a latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected. This female mini Tamiya connector has 10 cm 18-AWG leads with stripped and tinned terminations.

The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed, and a latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected. This male mini Tamiya connector has 10 cm 18-AWG leads with stripped and tinned terminations.

This female JST RCY plug, also called a BEC connector, has 10 cm 20-AWG leads with stripped and tinned terminations. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed.

This male JST RCY plug, also called a BEC connector, has 10 cm 20-AWG leads with stripped and tinned terminations. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed.

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 28 AWG wires and a 3-pin female JST ZH-style connector that mates with the 3-pin connector on Sharp GP2Y0A51 analog distance sensors. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal.

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 26 AWG wires and a 3-pin female JST PH-style connector that works with Sharp analog distance sensors that have mating PH connectors. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal.

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 26 AWG wires with a 3-pin female JST PH-style connector that works with Sharp analog distance sensors that have mating PH connectors. The other ends of the wire are terminated with male pins for 0.1" housing. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal.

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 26 AWG wires and a 3-pin female JST PH-style connector that works with Sharp analog distance sensors that have mating PH connectors. The other ends of the wire are terminated with female pins for 0.1" housing. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal.

This 5.5" (14cm) cable has two 26AWG conductors with a 2mm-pitch 2-pin female JST PH-style connector. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise.

This 6" (15cm) cable has two 26AWG conductors with a 2.5mm-pitch 2-pin female JST XH-style connector. The spacing is very close to 0.1", which means this connector will work with 0.1" male header pins and standard perfboards and solderless breadboards. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise.

This 12" (30 cm), 6-conductor ribbon cable has a female 2×3 IDC connector on each end that is designed to plug into a 0.100" (2.54 mm) 2×3 shrouded box header. It can also be used with 0.100" male header pins.

This Micro-USB cable is extremely thin (2mm diameter), light, and flexible, which makes it easier to use than bulkier cables that tend to take up more desk space and pull small devices off tables. The 6 ft (1.8 m) cable is terminated on one end by a Type-A USB plug and on the other by a Micro-B USB plug. Note that this cable is only capable of low- and full-speed USB, not high-speed USB.

This Micro-USB cable is 6 ft (1.8 m) long and is terminated on one end by a Type-A USB plug and on the other by a Micro-B USB plug. This cable works with high-speed USB devices.

This Mini-USB cable is extremely thin (2mm diameter), light, and flexible, which makes it easier to use than bulkier cables that tend to take up more desk space and pull small devices off tables. It is five feet long (1.5 m) and has a male Type-A connector and a male Mini-B connector. Note that this cable is not capable of high-speed USB.

This Mini-USB cable is five feet long (1.5 m) and has a male Type-A connector on one end and a male Mini-B connector on the other. This cable works with high-speed USB devices.

This 10 ft (3 m) extension cable is designed to work with Glideforce light-duty and medium-duty linear actuators with feedback. It consists of five 20 AWG wires terminated on one end with male power and feedback connectors that securely snap into the actuator’s female power and feedback connectors. The other end has the same female connectors as the linear actuator’s cable; you can cut off these connectors and solder the five wire leads directly to your project, or you use crimp pins and crimp connector housings to make your own custom connector.
