## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-2180:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-2180:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This JST RCY plug is also referred to as a BEC (battery eliminator circuit) connector and is commonly used with battery packs for RC applications. The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed.

This is the **female** version of the connector (we also offer a matching [male version](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-rcy-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html)). Two 10 cm 20-AWG wires are crimped inside the connector housing. The leads have silicone insulation and stripped, tinned terminations. As an alternative, Pololu sell a [JST connector pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-rcy-connector-pack-female.html) that includes housings and crimp pins you can use to attach these connectors to your own wires.

**Note:** these connectors are sometimes referred to as “male” in the RC hobby industry, so please look at the product picture carefully to make sure it is what you want.
