Resources and Going Further
The JST RCY connector is used for RC LiPo batteries. You will need some wire, wire strippers, and crimping pliers to crimp the pins for the JST RCY connector. For more information on how to crimp the pins, how to use the crimp pliers, inserting pins into the housing, removing pins from the housing, and explanation of the standard polarity for battery power, check out the following video from John Salt.

Our Crimping pliers have been verified to work with the crimp pins on these connectors.
Hey! Glad you're finally carrying some stuff that also works with RC equipment! Now, how about some EC3 connectors, so I can power my Sparkfun projects from my airplane batteries?
10 amps? Are you sure you want to stick with that story? That they're specced for 3 is impressive enough.
I have to applaud you on the direction of packaging one full connector's worth of stuff as one item. This happens all the time, I want a 2 pin connection to a motor or whatever... just one! Or perhaps 2 or 3. Now I have to get male bodies, female bodies, and then male and female pins. This solves a big issue!
One more detail... I use this tool to pre-crimp pins like this prior to soldering:

It's one of your products, and I use it all the time. But I don't see it in the "Related Products' section for this part.
Anyone know where to get this in black or white? I need a few thousand sets for connecting lighting strings, and red is too garish for my application.
Are these polarity protected? Is it impossible to connect them backwards? There's no pictures of the "other sides" of these.
Yes
