The connector is keyed so that power cannot be reversed, and a latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected. This is the **female** version of the connector (we also offer a matching [male version](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html)). Two 10 cm 18-AWG wires are crimped inside the connector housing. The leads have silicone insulation and stripped, tinned terminations. As an alternative, Pololu sell a [mini Tamiya connector pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-tamiya-connector-pack-female.html) that includes housings and crimp pins you can use to attach these female connectors to your own wires. **Note:** these connectors are sometimes referred to as “male” in the RC hobby industry, so please look at the connector picture below carefully to make sure it is what you want. | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3177_15498f15c60.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3177_32051a4fe98.jpg) \| \|---\| \| Female mini Tamiya plug connector. \| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3179_21597775ed2.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3179_24304dd0864.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| \| Male and female mini Tamiya plugs connected. \| | |---| | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3246_19196e1f210.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3246_601125adc3a.jpg) | |---| | Female mini Tamiya plug dimensions (in mm). | **Note:** This connector is also available in the larger [Tamiya version](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-female.html). **People often buy this product together with:** | [![Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Female](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2914_1453de0f2a.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-female.html) | [Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Female](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-female.html) | |---|---| | [![Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Male](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2915_1960b90a7b.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html) | [Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Male](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html) | |---|---| | [![Mini Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Male](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J3149_41148b3de4.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html) | [Mini Tamiya Plug with 10cm Leads, Male](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-tamiya-plug-with-10cm-leads-male.html) | |---|---| **General specifications** | Gender: | female | |---|---| | Lead length: | 10 cm | ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/m/i/mini_tamiya_plug_with_10cm_leads_female__pololu_2178__00.jpg)
