Ultra Flex Cable 1.2mm + 10 terminals - 1 metre

Ultra Flex 1.2 mm Cable with Terminals: Everything You Need for a Clean Electrical Installation in Your Slot Car

When preparing a slot car for competition or to maximise its performance, the quality of the wiring makes a difference. A rigid, thick cable or one with poor conductivity can lead to losses that are noticeable on the track. This Ultra Flex 1.2 mm Cable made of silicone, with a length of 1 metre and 10 included BE17 terminals, is designed to provide you with a tidy, flexible installation with good electrical contact from the very start.

Main Features

• Diameter: 1.2 mm — suitable section for electrical installations of motors and braids in slot.
• Length: 1 metre, sufficient for multiple connections or to obtain the exact lengths you need.
• Material: silicone, which provides much greater flexibility than conventional PVC and facilitates routing the cable within the chassis without problematic bends.
• Contents: 10 included BE17 terminals, ready to crimp and connect without the need to search for terminals separately.
• Reference: SWCA/03

Function and Performance

The silicone sheath of this cable gives it a great bending capacity without the sheath cracking or the inner conductor being compromised. This is especially useful in narrow chassis or with little distance between the entry point and the motor, where a rigid cable tends to bunch up and complicate assembly. The 1.2 mm section offers good conductivity for the usual electrical demands of 1/32 scale slot motors.

Compatibility and Assembly

This cable is compatible with the standard electrical installations of slot cars from various brands: Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, Slot.it, or Avant Slot, among others. The 10 included BE17 terminals allow for connections to the braids or directly to the motor without the need for soldering at all points, although we always recommend checking the quality of the crimping before closing the chassis.

The 1 metre length is more than enough to prepare several cars or to have spare cable once the installation is complete. If you are working with standard or sport guides, the 1.2 mm diameter fits well in most chassis configurations on the market.

Usage Recommendations

• Cut the lengths precisely before crimping the terminals to avoid excess cable inside the chassis.
• Use a crimping tool suitable for the size of the BE17 terminals to ensure reliable electrical contact.
• If you are going to solder the terminals to the motor, apply the minimum heat necessary: the silicone insulation tolerates heat well, but prolonged excess can damage it.
• Make the most of the full metre to plan the routing before cutting: a good layout of the cable inside the chassis avoids mechanical interference and improves the final appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the included BE17 terminals for?

The BE17 terminals are crimp connectors that allow you to securely and detachably connect the cable to the motor or braids, without relying solely on soldering. They facilitate maintenance and component replacement.

Is this cable suitable for competition?

Yes. The flexibility of the silicone insulation and the 1.2 mm section make it suitable for installations in club or amateur competition cars, where the aim is to reduce electrical losses and facilitate maintenance.

Can I use this cable in any slot scale?

It is especially aimed at 1/32 scale, the most widespread in the hobby. For other scales, it is advisable to check that the terminal diameter fits correctly with the corresponding motor connectors.

What tool is used to crimp the BE17 terminal?

A crimping tool compatible with terminals of that size is needed. A precision crimping tool for small format electronics is recommended to achieve a clean and firm contact.

Does the cable come cut or in a continuous 1 metre roll?

It comes in a continuous length of 1 metre, which you can cut to size according to the lengths you need for your installation.

The SWCA/03 Ultra Flex 1.2mm cable with 10 BE17 terminals is a practical and reliable choice for slot car wiring projects. Its silicone insulation ensures excellent flexibility for tight chassis layouts, while the included crimp terminals make for a clean and efficient electrical connection. Compatible with most 1/32 scale slot car brands including Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto and Slot.it. Ideal for club racers and hobbyists looking to improve their car's electrical performance with quality components.
