The shortened wire length allows these connectors to be used in places where room is an issue or gives the user a neat and compact finish to their wiring layout, while still using a plug and play connector for their battery packs. Connectors come with 12 gauge wire and can be used as a harness connector for hook-up to a charger or ESC. Speedzone also makes available their own low profile, low resistance 4mm male connectors.
