VTOL Pro Connector JX4 JX6 JX8 JX9 Introduction

  • Apr 15, 2025

The JX series connectors (JX4, JX6, JX8, JX9) are multi-pin power and signal connectors designed specifically for RC vehicles, drones, VTOL aircraft, and other high-performance hobbyist or commercial unmanned systems.

These connectors are built to be compact, reliable, and high-current capable, with both power and signal lines in one plug—perfect for modular drone arms, detachable wings, or power-distribution boards (PDBs).


🔌 JX Series Connector Overview

Model Pins Typical Use
JX4 4 Power + signal (small drones, arms, ESCs)
JX6 6 Dual power + signal (quadcopters, VTOL)
JX8 8 Power + multiple signals (arms, gimbals)
JX9 9 High-pin count, full power/signal integration

⚙️ General Features

  • High-current capability (10A+ per pin depending on variant)

  • Mixed power + signal support in one housing

  • Anti-reverse polarity design (keyed housing)

  • Locking mechanism: Secure latch prevents disconnect in flight

  • Heat-resistant plastic for high-power systems

  • Solder or crimp terminals depending on the version


🛠️ Typical Applications

  • Modular drone arms: Easy attachment/detachment with motor, ESC, signal lines in one plug

  • VTOL aircraft: Quick-connect between wing modules and fuselage

  • Fixed-wing UAVs: Wing wiring harnesses

  • RC cars: Motor/ESC combos or PDBs

  • Gimbals and payloads: Signal + power in one connector


📦 Pinout Configurations (Typical)

Let’s take the JX6 as an example (varies by supplier):

  • 2x Power Pins (thicker gauge, e.g., VBAT+ and GND)

  • 4x Signal Pins (e.g., PWM, I2C, CAN, telemetry)

Note: Always check the datasheet or supplier pinout, as customizations are common in the RC/FPV world.


📐 Physical Design

  • Low-profile, rectangular housing

  • Color-coded or keyed for polarity

  • Often comes with pigtail wires pre-soldered or as DIY kits
