Stuff in last post won't work: why? 1) not Molex 2) too short if it were. Try

I am not sure why it seems that there is no one making them when there is so much interest in the micro stuff.

OverSky cost $6.50 for 5 extentions+unspecified shipping from China
glenn2626(r/c connectors)is a RCG member and stand behind his products,somebody should explain OverSky that JST and Molex are two different brand and product

ALL these electrical connector bits are simply repurposed Electronics components/parts.
Waddle over to a passably stocked local electronics supply shop and buy some.. for v little coin. No shipping nonsense as well.

Neither the Oversky or RC-Connector references appear to be what the original poster wanted: a "Y" Molex 1.25mm connector (presumably to connect the aileron Rx port to two aileron servos.

Anything is possible

I can make a Y-adapter using the molex picoblade connectors, all you have to do is ask. Different servo wire gauges, any length you need, etc.

Just browse thru the servo adapter/converter section of my site and you'll get an idea of what I can do... Then do the same in the 'custom orders' section of my site.

Then go to the 'contact us' page (link at the bottom of every page) and send me a note.

JST SH and ZH series connectors (1,0 and 1.5 mm pitch), as well as Molex PicoBlade (1,25) are available from Digikey.com. The best thing is the prices are dirt cheap!!!

They are a huge electronics supplier, but still allow us poor mortals to purchase 5 or 10 or 10,000 of anything they sell.

Digikey may have the connectors, but what you really want is the pigtails. Taking a female 3-pin 1.25 Molex connector and making a pigtail requires an expensive crimping tool, as it does for a JST SH or ZH female connector.

NOPE!!! You do NOT need a crimping tool. Using the absolute minimum amount of solder, the pigtail can be attached to the pin or socket. Just cut or snip with a cutter, the "tails" that would be crimped normally, then insert into the plastic housing. I have been doing this for ages. Patience, some eye magnification and a small soldering tip are essential. You're not soldering Deans or Sermos connectors, here!!
