JR Servo Connectors, Plugs and Sockets

Shop JR connectors at Aus Electronics Direct. Our range includes male and female gold JR connectors for compatible RC servo, receiver and hobby wiring applications. JR connectors are commonly used in radio control equipment to connect servos and other compatible components to receiver systems.

Whether you need replacement JR male plugs, female connectors or connector sets for RC wiring projects, compare the available options to find the right connection for your application.

Choosing the Right JR Connector

JR connectors are commonly used for RC servo and receiver connections and feature a standard 0.1-inch (2.54mm) pin spacing. They are also compatible with some Futaba J-style connections, although compatibility should be checked for the specific equipment and connector configuration.

Before purchasing, check the connector gender, pin arrangement, spacing and wiring configuration. Ensure the connector matches your servo, receiver or other RC equipment. Also consider the wire size and connection method required for your project.

Browse our JR male and female connectors to find suitable options for compatible RC servos, receivers and hobby electronics.

FAQ

1. What is a JR connector used for?

A JR connector is an electrical plug commonly used in radio control (RC) equipment to connect servos, receivers and other compatible components. It is frequently found in RC cars, trucks, boats and aircraft, carrying control signals and power between the receiver and connected devices. JR-style connectors are also used in hobby electronics and RC wiring projects.

2. What is the difference between JR male and female connectors?

JR male and female connectors have different physical contact arrangements designed to fit together. The male connector has exposed metal pins, while the female connector has recessed contacts. When choosing a replacement, check the connector housing, number of pins, pin arrangement and wiring configuration to ensure it matches your RC equipment.

3. Are JR connectors compatible with Futaba receivers?

Many JR-style servo connectors are compatible with Futaba receivers because they use a similar connector format and pin spacing. However, compatibility is not guaranteed for every product or receiver. Check the connector dimensions, pin arrangement, polarity and equipment specifications before connecting a servo or replacement lead.

4. What is the pin spacing of a JR connector?

Standard JR-style RC servo connectors commonly use 2.54mm (0.1-inch) pin spacing. This spacing is widely used in RC receiver and servo connections. However, pin spacing alone does not guarantee compatibility, so also check the connector housing, number of contacts and wiring arrangement.

5. Are JR connectors used for RC servos?

Yes. JR connectors are commonly used to connect RC servos to radio receivers. They typically provide connections for power, ground and the control signal. They are found in many RC cars, trucks, boats and aircraft, although the correct connector and wiring configuration must match the receiver and servo.

6. What is the difference between JR and Futaba connectors?

JR and Futaba connectors are commonly used for RC servo and receiver connections and many standard versions share similar dimensions and pin spacing. However, differences can exist between connector housings, keying and wiring configurations. Some JR-style plugs fit Futaba-style sockets, but always confirm compatibility and polarity before use.

7. How do I choose the correct JR connector?

Choose a JR connector based on the RC equipment you need to connect. Check whether you require a male or female connector, the number of contacts, pin spacing and housing dimensions. Also confirm the wire arrangement and polarity against your servo or receiver specifications. If replacing an existing plug, compare it carefully with the original connector before purchasing.

8. Can I use a JR connector with any RC receiver?

No. Although JR-style connectors are widely used in RC equipment, they are not guaranteed to fit or operate correctly with every receiver. Check the receiver's connector type, pin arrangement, polarity and voltage requirements. Also make sure the connected servo or accessory is electrically compatible with the receiver.
