Throttle Connectors

There are several different connectors in use by different manufacturers for plugging throttles in to the command bus or network. You may prefer a different plug in connector for your throttles than the one your manufacturer ships with their throttles.

Generally, you can rewire any throttle to use any plug arrangement that you prefer as long as you use correct pin-out. So, if the system you like uses DIN5s and you would rather have stereo jacks or RJ12s, ask the manufacturer for throttle re-wiring instructions.
