Connectors for Fans etc. on Radio Controlled Cars
I picked up some of the small 2mm ‘Corally’ type banana connectors, off of ebay [search for: 2mm gold connector], these are ideal for use connecting fans, UBECs, LiPo cut-offs, etc.
http://www.vimeo.com/2991381In my e-savage I had two fans and a UBEC I wanted to connect direct to the battery voltage. I connect two wires, one to each of the +ve and -ve on the Deans battery connectors, and run them to where I want the sockets of for the accessories.
Then, I soldered three of the 2mm sockets in a small triangle, and onto one of the power wires. So 6 2mm sockets in total, 3 +ve, 3 -ve. Heatshrink around each triangle of three, gives a nice neat 3-way socket.
On each fan/ubec I have a 2mm plug on the power wires, heatshrink them again and plug them into the socket.
It’s important that there is no bare connector showing, especially as the +ve and -ve are often positioned next to each other.
