Wing Servo Plug & Socket Question

[Neil Stainton]

I just received my first 4 servo wing sailplane, and am wondering what the best system for connecting the flap and aileron servo of each wing to the rx is. Ideally I would like to use two 4 pin plugs and sockets, one for each wing. However I haven't found any suitable 4 pin minature plugs and sockets.

What do people use? Ideally I would like to use something like a standard servo plug and socket, but with four pins instead of three.

Thanks in advance,

Neil.

Deans makes gold plated, four pin, polarized plugs and connectors for soldered connections. They are available from Tower and other retailers.

Thanks for the suggestion Ollie, but I am not sure if Deans plugs are available in Europe, and ordering them from the US may be too expensive.

Regards, Neil.

I always use the grey 5-pin Multiplex plugs and sockets :

or the 6-pin :

I believe in the UK you could get them from Flair.

Thanks Michael, the grey 5 pin ones look ideal. I've got some of the green 6 pin ones but they are a bit big.

I use a 4 pin version of the MPX plug shown above. They are the best plug I have used. light, and very easy to hook up at the field.
