Tamiya & Mini Tamiya Power Connectors

Whether you're building a new RC car, upgrading your airsoft gun’s wiring, or looking for safe and secure battery connections, our high-quality selection of Tamiya connectors has everything you need. Tamiya connectors are widely used in hobby electronics due to their compact form, polarity-safe design, and reliable current handling for medium-power applications.

What Is a Tamiya Connector?

A Tamiya connector is a two-pin plastic electrical connector commonly used in battery packs for remote-controlled (RC) vehicles, airsoft guns, robotics, and other portable electronics. Known for its distinctive rectangular plastic housing and rounded pin sockets, the Tamiya plug is engineered to deliver consistent, safe connections between battery and motor or controller systems. Tamiya connectors come in two major sizes: standard Tamiya connectors and mini Tamiya connectors.

Standard vs. Mini Tamiya Connectors

It’s important to choose the correct Tamiya connector size based on your voltage and space constraints. Here’s a breakdown:

• Standard Tamiya Connector: Ideal for 7.2V–12V battery packs used in RC cars, boats, and larger airsoft rifles. Offers a robust plastic shell and wider contact spacing for higher current loads.
• Mini Tamiya Connector: More compact, making it a popular choice for lower-voltage packs in airsoft pistols and compact robotics where space is limited. Also used in 9.6V battery packs and select LED systems.

Types of Tamiya Plugs We Carry

• Tamiya Male Connectors: Designed to plug into battery packs or output devices. Typically found on chargers or controller boards.
• Tamiya Female Connectors: Usually attached to the battery side, allowing for polarity-safe connection with the male end.
• Tamiya Plug Kits: Complete connector kits with male and female housings, pins, and optional wires for easy field installation or replacement.

Applications for Tamiya Connectors

Tamiya battery connectors are a go-to choice for many electronics enthusiasts and engineers thanks to their versatility. Common applications include:

• RC cars, boats, and drones
• Airsoft AEG rifles and pistols
• Rechargeable battery packs (NiMH, NiCd, Li-ion)
• DIY robotics and electronics kits
• LED lighting projects
