I am familiar with the standard switch harnesses which have a double throw switch and three leads: to the nicad pack, the receiver and to the charging jack. But I can't figure out what the Mini-Switch Harness & Charge Cord does. In the diagram it only shows two leads from the switch although the text does refer to charging. Any help?

The standard switch harness, with battery, receiver, and charge plugs is considered a "mini" switch harness by Futaba because it has the "mini" plugs. It got named years ago when those connectors first came out.

There are also two other kinds of "mini" switch harnesses. One has only a battery and receiver connector, and the other has a battery connector and a special 2-pin connector for BEC receivers. These two switch harnesses are usually used in R/C cars where the battery pack is removable so that you can replace the dry cells.

The standard airplane-type switch harness is:
