Wire connectors are small connectors that are usually found in multicopter frames and planes for various purposes. They typically come in one of two sizes, 2 mm or 3 mm, and can be used with both solid core wire or stranded wire. Micro wire connectors consist of a tiny plastic body with an embedded metal pin soldered to one end and the other end is sized to fit the connector on your multicopter frame or plane.Tips to buy the best connectors.

1. Quality
The best wire connectors will be those with a high quality PCB. The best ones will be the kind that are PCB-mounted, not the kind that are soldered to plastic. You will want to make sure that all of the components within the micro wire connector are of high quality, with no exposed areas or any parts that are not soldered on, where dirt or dust could enter and cause problems.
2. Package
The package is probably not a huge concern but you will want to make sure that your wire connectors come in a large enough package, so that none of the pins are damaged in transit. Smaller packaging usually means that the pins have a higher chance of being damaged.
3. Price
Price is always important when you are buying anything and wire connectors are no exception. You will want to make sure that you buy high quality wire connectors at the best price possible as it is likely that there will be good deals available on them.
4.Application
The application of the wire connectors is not a huge concern but you should be aware that they can also be used on planes and multicopter frames. You will want to make sure that the application and usage of the micro wire connector is compatible with your own use before you buy them.
5. Durability
Just about every part of your multicopter or plane is important, including the wire connectors. The best micro wire connectors will be those that are durable and can withstand being moved around, bent, and connected over and over again without any problems. You will want to make sure that they are built to last.
6. Knowledge
Knowledge is the most important tip of all when it comes to micro wire connectors. You will want to make sure that you know what kind of connector you need before you buy them, which ones work with both solid core wires or stranded wires, and which ones are compatible with your own project or applications.
7. Compatability
It is very likely that you will have to buy a micro wire connector or other component, or simply one of the many different types that are compatible with your project. When in doubt, ask someone who is more knowledgeable than you.
8. Ease of use
Don’t be in a rush to buy whichever wire connectors you see just because they are cheap and look cool as they can often hinder your progress as a pilot by being difficult to work with and carelessly handled.
