Ultra Flex Cable 1.2mm - 1 metre + 10 BE17 terminals

Ultra Flex Silicone Cable for 1/32 Slot: Flexibility and Precision in Every Connection

Sideways, a benchmark brand in spare parts for 1/32 slot racing, includes in its catalogue this 1.2 mm Ultra Flex Cable presented in a 1-metre length with 10 BE17 terminals. A kit designed for those who want to do things right from the start: no improvisations, no rigid cables that hinder assembly, and no connections that fail mid-race.

Function and Performance

The Ultra Flex silicone cable is specifically designed for electrical installations in 1/32 scale slot cars. The silicone sheath provides significantly greater flexibility than conventional PVC cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces within the chassis without straining the connection points or creating tensions that could lead to contact failures.

• Section: 1.2 mm
• Length: 1 metre
• Included terminals: 10 BE17 units
• Sheath material: flexible silicone

Compatibility and Applications

Suitable for any electrical installation in 1/32 slot cars: replacement or upgrade of the original wiring, connection of braids, motors, or any point in the car's electrical chain. Its 1.2 mm diameter makes it suitable for precision work without adding unnecessary bulk inside the chassis.

The 10 BE17 terminals included allow for clean and secure crimping of connections, avoiding the use of soldering in those points where a mechanical joint is preferred or where easy disassembly of the assembly is required.

Assembly and Preparation

To make the most of this cable, it is advisable to carefully strip the silicone sheath without damaging the inner wire, as the flexibility of the material requires a well-adjusted stripper or a scalpel blade. Once stripped, crimping the BE17 terminal onto the wire provides a firm connection ready to be soldered or secured according to the chosen assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale is this cable designed for?

It is aimed at 1/32 slot cars, although its use can extend to any application where a flexible 1.2 mm silicone cable is needed.

Are the 10 BE17 terminals included in the price?

Yes. The SWCA03 presentation includes 1 metre of Ultra Flex cable and 10 BE17 terminals in the same pack.

What advantage does silicone cable have over PVC cable?

Silicone is much more flexible and heat-resistant than PVC. Inside a slot chassis, where spaces are very tight and there may be some heat generated by the motor, silicone maintains its properties without hardening or cracking over time.

Can this cable be soldered?

Yes. The inner wire accepts solder perfectly. Just be careful not to bring the soldering iron too close to the silicone sheath to avoid damaging it.

How many cables can I get from 1 metre?

It depends on the installation. In most 1/32 slot cars, 1 metre of cable can be used to make several complete installations or renew the wiring of several cars if the necessary sections are short.

The Sideways SWCA03 Ultra Flex cable is a 1.2 mm silicone wire ideal for 1/32 slot car electrical wiring. Supplied as a 1-metre length with 10 BE17 terminals included, it delivers superior flexibility for tight chassis installations. A reliable choice for slot car preparation, motor connections and pick-up braid wiring in 1/32 scale racing.
