Making a Male Servo Connector With the Deluxe Crimping Tool:
A male servo connector is very similar to a female connector, just don’t forget to reverse the order of the wires. The same housing is used,
along with male pins instead of female pins. That’s right, it’s the exact same housing for the male connector. Then, if you choose to, you can
finish it off with a protective plastic sleeve as found on pretty much all male connectors in the RC industry. To make a male connector we’ll use
the same process to crimp male terminals onto the wire. This sequence shows our deluxe crimping tool in action along with our .1” gold male
terminals, universal housing, and universal sleeve. This is how I like to do things:
1) Strip the wires as describe above.
2) Set a male terminal in the smaller set of teeth and close the jaws just enough to hold it in place.
3) Starting with the BLACK wire, slide the stripped end in until you feel the insulated part of the wire hit the change in tooth depth.
4) Crimp, and repeat for the other wires.
5) If you experience problems inserting the pins into the housing, remedy by very slightly squeezing the rear wings with pliers (I use our
wire stripping tool to do this).
6) Insert the male pins into a connector housing until the little flaps lock the pins into place.
7) At this point, the connector is perfectly usable, but the unprotected pins could short out on something or get broken.
8) The male sleeves have little bumps on the inside that will snap into the little windows in the housing. Press the sleeve on, bumps first.
Notes: you could also use our economy 1x3 connector
housing to do this. If you modify the housing as
shown above then you can press the protective sleeve
over it.
When making a Futaba J type male connector, you’ll
want to start with the white wire. The order should
be reversed from that shown in the photos to the
right (because the Futaba J sleeve flips the key
orientation). Note that a Futaba J sleeve will snap
over an economy 1x3, universal, or Futaba J housing.
