Hi,

I'm trying to make a couple of purchases but need to know what type of Servo connection I have. There is 3 points that plug into the receiver, I attached an image of it.

Does anyone know the correct name of this connector?


Thanks

This plug type has not been used in years. It was used during the wide band radio's. You won't find them in any hobby store. It would be easier to buy new ones but you will have to buy a new reciever, and your radio may be wide band which means that you can't use it a AMA field. Dennis

That is the obsolete Futaba (G) There may be a few G to J (the current Futaba plug) adapters at some of the specialty houses like servo city. This would enable you to use the servos with a modern narrowband Rx. Actually its just as well to cut them off and solder on a new (J) plug with pictails and cheaper.

There are no rules that says you can not use a wideband receiver at an AMA field, you can not use a wideband transmitter but you can, if you want to risk your plane, legally use the wideband receiver. If you do, you risk getting interfered with by an adjacent channel signal. The sugestion to solder on new J connectors after cutting off the old G connectors to allow using your old servos in a new system is a good one, better than using the adapter

With servo's costing between $8 and $12 dollars., you don't save that much. And you also don't know what kind of shape the old servo's are in. And why in the world would you buy a new radio and fly with a old reciever. Dennis
