Where to Buy RC MPX Connectors in South Africa - Local Stock & Pickup Options

Product overview and common MPX uses

MPX-style connectors are commonly used in radio control for battery, servo and signal connections. Variants include 2-pin and 3-pin housings, right-angle and straight crimp options, and pre-wired leads with male or female shells. At Communica you'll typically browse under Connectors & Wire and Prototyping categories to find compatible parts and accessory tools.

Key specs to check

• Pin count (2P, 3P) and gender (male/female)
• Current rating (A) per contact and wire gauge compatibility (e.g., 22-14 AWG)
• Crimp style (insulation displacement vs. open-barrel) and housing material
• Locking feature and polarity keying to avoid reversed connections

Where to look at Communica

Start with the Connectors, Wire & Cable collection and the Prototyping / Hobby sections. Use filters for pin count and search terms like "MPX", "servo connector", "2-pin connector" or brand names commonly stocked by Communica. For hands-on builds, also add crimp tools, ferrules and heatshrink from Tools & Supplies to your cart.

Buying advice and compatibility guidance

Before ordering, confirm the connector gender and pinout on your model. For servo leads, the standard order is signal (often white/orange), positive (red) and ground (black/brown). If you're replacing a battery connector, measure wire gauge and check the continuous current rating; for example, a 14 AWG lead is suitable for higher-current setups compared with 22 AWG.

Accessory bundles and tools

• Crimp tool and a selection of open-barrel crimp terminals for secure terminations
• Servo extension leads and pre-wired pigtails to adapt different layouts
• Heatshrink tubing and cable ties for strain relief and insulation
