|  Castle BEC 2.0 wire questions
The waterproof Castle BEC 2.0 has two sets of wires on the output side: +/- And +/-/signal I'm assuming that if I'm using the Holmes RX bypass y-adapter where I don't need the signal wire (signal gets passed directly from the RX), I can just use the +/- pair, or can/should I use the +/-/signal and the signal wire gets ignored? Does it make a difference? Thanks for your time. |

Right. That's what I've got, just not sure which of the dual outputs from the BEC I should plug into it. The the photo below, does it matter which of the two plugs I connect to the "BEC" end of the adapter?  Quote:

The two wires are hooked together internally. There is just two of them because if you are using near the capacity of the BEC you'll melt the connector. If you are using the bypass harness you can hook the 3 wire one up to the servo and then have the 2 wire one to be hooked up to some LED's or a winch. The only reason one of them has the 3 wires is to be able to communicate with Castle Link, for power they are identical and you can hook them up where ever you need power.

Removing 75% from the box to run off the second output is perfect. The package says both outputs must be connected to the receiver.  | |

glad I found this thread because I couldn't figure out why it comes with two outputs.
