Hi guys, this is the mating connector for the 110 mAH E-Flite battery. I built up a cable for my Triton 2 charger and it works like a charm.

Molex P/N 51047-0200 (housing)
Molex P/N 50125-8000 (pins)

These can be purchased at www.mouser.com

Marvelous. Big contribution. This is a solution to be able to load with our habitual chargers.

Can you plug the battery directly to the 538-51047-0200?

However I can't find the pin 50125-8000. I only can find 50125-8100.

Can you put the link to that item?
Thank you.

for myself I use a JST connector and the citabria Parkzone connector. So I can charge my eflite mcx battery on my usual charger, working great.

here is the link of the citabria or cessna connector

50125-8100 is the same pin, the only difference is the 50125-8000 is on a reel, the other is not. (Mouser did not have the 50125-8100 in stock).

Yes, you can plug the battery directly to the 51047-0200, but you need to have the pins for the electrical connection.

This is the exact same plug that is on the helicopter, the one in the charger is a board mounted connector.

I had to replace my motors last week. I took a look at the motor connectors and realized that the pins are spaced exactly like the battery connector. The only thing is that the pins are round and you have to be gentle when connecting to the battery(they have to be inserted at a very slight angle). I used red sharpie marker to dictate the orientation of the connector to the battery. Works like a charm. So when your motors give up the ghost, use the connectors for charging.

Thanks! Now I can just solder on a couple of banana plugs

Thanks Dave!

Bought the pins and body..any chance you know the part number of the matching male connector and pins?

shaggybirdman · 12-12-2008, 08:57 PM

here is the plug at horizon.

billkline · 01-13-2009, 08:53 AM

Yes - same question from me - matching male connector, the one that goes on the batt; any idea where to get these? Thanks.

Here is a link to the Molex PicoBlade connector system datasheet.

mCXer · 02-08-2009, 09:20 PM

So I tried to do the solder mod on my battery connector and completely fragged it. I found the parts VertocalDave posted, but then I looked up the crimping tool for them and it's damn near $300! My question is this: will I need the crimper to install the pins correctly or is there some other way to do it? I'm an electronics noob (hence the botched soldering job :o), so please dumb down your replies

$300?! if it's the same crimper it's more like $20. my bro got one to do futaba servo ends. he won't pay that kind of cash for a tool. i'll find out where (10 to 1 lhs), and how much tomorrow.

mCXer · 02-08-2009, 10:05 PM

It's the one made by Molex for the pins/housing posted above. I got the P/N off of the datasheet AverageJoe posted.

http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine....ord=63811-0300

So I may have exaggerated...it's closer to $229, but still...no way in hell I'm buyin a tool that costs more than 2x the price of the heli

If there's a $20 version that will do the job, I'll wash your car and walk your dog!

ENDO1 · 02-13-2009, 06:24 AM

I have this one, it works perfectly on these tiny pins,

http://www.servocity.com/html/pin_crimpers.html

dealwagon · 02-16-2009, 07:50 PM

Just buy this..
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PKZ3052

Then solder the wire. Doesnt introduce enough resistance to matter. This plug is WAY stronger and tighter than the stock mCX one. I love it! I ordered one on ebay for like $2.50 shipped. lol

Note: The wires are short, so it wont make it all the way to the board, but if you are smarter than a chimp, you can make a good solder joint, shrink wrap it, then its better than new.

EatMorePizza · 04-18-2009, 07:48 PM

hey does anyone know which is the one on the lipo iyself. it came defected from vender and i just want to put a new one on. thnx

50125-8100 male contact pin for 26-28awg
50133-8100 male contact pin for 28-32awg
51047-0200 battery connector on mCX

50079-8100 female contact pin for 26-28awg
50058-8100 female contact pin for 28-32awg
51021-0200 connector for a battery with wires (not E-Flite)

53047-0210 connector for the stock charger

See the Molex PicoBlade datasheet for more info.

Send it back, don't even try resoldering a new connector on.

you know, i found a battery from
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=8864

cant beat that for nothing. instead of getting the connector im getting these!

man do i love hobby city, it shows us how ridiculous vendors like horizon are with their crazy mark ups.

assatom · 05-23-2009, 05:06 AM

Any ideas how to charge multiple batteries at the same time with one charger??

Found an easy solution !!
