VTOL Pro Connector JX4 JX6 JX8 JX9 Introduction
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
