This style of high-current connector is commonly used with the 7.2V battery packs that power many RC cars. The connector, sometimes called Tamiya or Kyosho, is keyed so that power cannot be reversed. A latch secures the connection so that it will not become disconnected.

This is the **male** version of the connector (we also offer a matching [female version](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/POLOLU-2172)). Two 10cm 14-AWG wires are crimped inside the connector housing and extend 9cm past the plastic housing. The leads have silicone insulation and stripped, tinned terminations. As an alternative, Pololu sell a [Tamiya connector pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/POLOLU-1933) that includes housings and crimp pins you can use to attach these male connectors to your own wires.

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

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-2173:1` (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-2173:1.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.
