RC Failsafe Switches

RC Failsafe Switches

A failsafe switch controls power to the receiver and servos while adding a safety layer, so that a fault in the switch or wiring is less likely to leave the model without control. The units in this category come from makers who focus on reliable onboard power for larger and more valuable airframes.

Fromeco Switches

Fromeco options include the Failsafe Relia-Switch, the Wolverine switch offered with JR/Universal or Deans Ultra connectors, and the higher output Badger failsafe with a slide switch and Amass Deans-compatible wiring.

Smart-Fly Options

The Smart-Fly Slider Failsafe Switch and Charge Package combines a switch with a charge port, letting you top off the pack without unplugging the system. Switches of this class are most at home in larger models, where the cost of a lost airframe justifies a more robust power path than a simple on-off switch provides. Connector choice matters too, since the switch has to carry the full current the servos draw, and options here are offered with JR, Deans, and Amass-style terminations to suit different setups.
