YC-8 5 Pin Connector Matching Pair
Discontinued
The YC-8 5-pin connector is an aviation-style quick-release connector pair, popular in custom mechanical keyboard cable builds, DIY projects, robotics, and wearable electronics. The connector snaps together smoothly and can only be disconnected by pulling back the sleeve, providing a secure yet detachable connection.
This matching pair includes both the male and female halves. The connectors require soldering to your cable wires and are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 4.5–5 mm to fit the internal metal-toothed strain relief grips.
