I am confused about the electrical connectors used in AEGs I have one type in my collection but two sizes. (see pic) Is there a thread somewhere with pictures and names? I would search, but don't know the nomenclature.

I use to call them tamiya connectors but I dont know Im provably wrong.

slntdth93 · November 16th, 2012, 21:18

tamiya (white)
Mini-tamiya (green-ish)

If I am not mistaken

You are correct...

go to a hobby shop and grab some deans then re-soldered them...

The most commonly used connectors in airsoft and on almost every new gun. Mini tamiya or large tamiya (or just tamiya since the others are called mini)/

Thanks, fellas.

but they are the worst efficient type...change them to Deans...if you cannot do it, bring it to a RC hobby shop, they can re-solder for you...

I don't think anyone else said it directly but the connector in the OP's post is a Large Female Tamiya to Small/Mini Male Tamiya. Usually found in the buttstock of old school fullstock AEG's like the M16 and such I honestly don't know why they do that but if you're going to change to deans, IMO you might as well take it all apart and run it straight wire to the deans connector (ie. cut out the large tamiya and splice the wires together).
