Default Please identify these connectors!

No doubt an easy one, but I'm new to RC and these new fangled lipo batteries, so I'd like confirmation on what connectors these are - are they simply 4mm bullet connectors? They seem to be longer than most I see online, and are free to revolve around the solder connection; came with the Orion CarbonPro saddles I recently received and I'd like to make some more cables up.



Thanks.

Yep, they are 4mm bullets....commonly known as Corally's in the RC world!

Buy them cheap in bulk off ebay...or more expensively (if a couple of quid is really expensive!) in singles and pairs from model shops.

Thanks for the prompt replies, guys. I'd measure the plugs with Vernier calipers and they're 3.5mm so assumed/ordered 3.5mm bullets!

To get 3.5mm...did you measure the plug or the receiving socket? I suspect the 4mm comes from the socket diameter!

Happy to help anyway

Doh - slaps ample forehead!

Measured the OD of the plug... was too scared to go anywhere near the sockets on the batteries anyway, as they are in a lipo sack in a lead sarcopahgus buried at the back of a garden, with an exlusion zone clearly marked in hazard tape.

See, told you I was new to this malarkey!

Cheers; funnily enough I've bought from the same eBay seller - pack of ten pairs with heat shrink.
