mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi folks. I do not know what it is called but what I want to do is surface mount a lead from the bind port of a receiver so that I have access when the model is assembled a bit like a rx pack charging port. I have tried various combnations of words but have failed miserably to find one - if they even exist! Any pointers gladly received.....

Don Fry Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Would a servo extension lead do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hopkin Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Shall we call it a "RBP" Remote Bind Port? and as Donald says a servo extension lead would do the job - all a bind plug does is ground the signal terminal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 2mm spacing board mount stand offs or a servo extension lead as suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I normally use servo extension leads, what I am after though is a surface mounted something to mount the end of the lead into. I remember having a little plastic plate once that the end of the lead clipped into and the plate had two screws that held it in place to make a socket, but I have no idea where it came from. I normally just leave the end of the lead poking out somewhere but want to make a neater job this time. It looks a bit like a stand-alone charging port.

Bob Cotsford Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 How about cutting the back out of an external charge port and gluing the female end of a servo extension in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 this is the thing - just need to find it in this country.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks Bob, thats looking more the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks folks. I will order a couple of those as they look right. I have male/female bing plugs so not a problem whatever it is. Thanks all, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 There are switches with three wires to all leads. You just use the normal charge lead as the bind lead. Some switches even have the charge socket in the switch face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I believe mick reeves does wooden versions of the plastic jobbies shown above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypeesh Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Sounds like genius to me Peter. Would it work though. All the switch harnesses I have used only feed to the battery from the charge lead when the switch is in the off position, so do not connect to the rx otherwise it would power the rx all the time like a y lead? Then again I might just have confused myself thinking it out! Seeing the Mick reeves one I might make some up myself if Peters Idea does not work. Mind you I have a soldering iron and lots of spare lead......... Watch this space....

John Privett Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Posted by Denis Watkins on 08/04/2016 09:31:53: 2mm spacing board mount stand offs But it's 0.1" spacing - ie. 2.43mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Simon Edited By mightypeesh on 08/04/2016 14:18:00 Edited By mightypeesh on 08/04/2016 14:22:33 IT works Look at the Spektrum swith harness. IT is the same set up, You bind via the lead. I imagine that the positive is the only wire that is not in circuit and the bind cercuit is signal and negative. Anyway when you put the bind plug in and switch on the lights startflashing and it binds. when you swithc the TXon. I have just tested in on a heavy duty Ripmax swith and that worked. So any one with all thre wires will work I haveone ot switches wilth a built in charge socket on the switch face and that works on my Floozy Bipe because I never take the wings off Edited By Peter Miller on 09/04/2016 14:45:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
