YC-8 4 Pin Connector Matching Pair
Discontinued
An aeronautical-style quick-release 4-pin connector pair. The YC-8 snaps together smoothly and disconnects only when the sleeve is pulled — a secure, one-handed operation. A popular choice for custom mechanical keyboard USB cables, robotics, wearables, and any DIY project where a detachable connection looks and feels great.
Assembly requires soldering and a cable with the correct diameter (4.5–5 mm) for the internal metal-toothed strain-relief grips. Strip, tin, solder, heat-shrink, and reassemble — a rewarding project for intermediate soldering skills.
Key Features
- Quick-Release Design – Sleeve-pull disconnect, secure snap-fit connection
- 4 Pins – Suitable for USB and other 4-conductor cables
- Matching Pair – Male and female connectors included
- Aeronautical Style – Metal construction with a professional look
Important: The internal strain-relief grips require a cable diameter of 4.5–5 mm for a proper fit. Delicate soldering is required — this is an intermediate-level project.

- Custom mechanical keyboard USB cables
