Please check you Transceiver to make sure it takes this type of connector

Many amateur radio transceivers, particularly VHF/UHF mobile models from the 1990s–2010s era, use the 2-pin Molex-style T-type (also called OEM-T, T-connector, T-shape, or factory 2-pin) power connector for their 13.8 VDC (nominal 12V) supply. This is a keyed, T-shaped plastic housing with two flat spade contacts (male pins on the radio side, female on the cable/power source side), often rated for 10–15A fused service. It's common on mid-power (25–75W) FM mobiles but rare on modern HF transceivers (which favor 4-pin Molex, 6-pin, or Anderson Powerpole) or portable/QRP rigs (which use coaxial barrels or Powerpole).This connector is not standardized by Molex part number in ham contexts but is widely recognized as the "VHF/UHF mobile 2-pin T" in aftermarket cables from Powerwerx, Valley Enterprises, DX Engineering, and generic sources (e.g., Amazon/eBay/Aliexpress kits for Yaesu/Kenwood/Icom).Common Transceivers Using This ConnectorFrom ham supplier listings, replacement cable compatibility, and user reports:
  • Yaesu (most frequent users of this style):
    • FT-7800R (dual-band VHF/UHF)
    • FT-7900R (dual-band)
    • FT-8900R (quad-band)
    • FT-8800R (dual-band)
    • FT-1802M, FT-1807M (2m mobiles)
    • FT-2800M (2m high-power)
    • FT-2600M, FT-2400, FT-2500 (older 2m models)
    • Some other VHF/UHF mobiles like FTM-series variants in certain markets
  • Icom:
    • IC-2200H (2m)
    • IC-2300H (2m)
    • IC-2720H, IC-2730A (dual-band)
    • IC-V8000 (2m high-power)
    • Older models like IC-2000H, IC-2100H, IC-2710H, IC-2720H
    • Some commercial/land mobile series repurposed for ham (e.g., IC-F series like F121S, F5021, F1721)
  • Kenwood:
    • TM-271A, TM-281A (2m mobiles)
    • TM-261A (older 2m)
    • TM-G707A, TM-V7A (dual-band older)
    • TM-D700A, TM-D710A (some variants; note some use different connectors)
    • TM-741 (multi-band older)
  • Other brands:
    • Alinco DR-135, DR-435 series (VHF/UHF mobiles)
    • Many Chinese/generic mobiles (e.g., BTECH, Radioddity, Retevis, TYT mobile units like UV-50X equivalents)
    • ADI (older models)
    • Some Midland or repurposed commercial rigs adapted for ham
Notes
  • Primarily VHF/UHF FM mobiles (50W class or less); higher-power or HF models (e.g., Yaesu FT-857/891, Icom IC-706/7300, Kenwood TS-480/590) use larger 4-pin/6-pin Molex or proprietary connectors.
  • Many owners replace these with Anderson Powerpole adapters for better reliability, reverse polarity protection, and standardization (Powerwerx sells direct OEM-T to Powerpole cables).
  • Always verify your specific radio's rear panel or manual—revisions or regional variants may differ slightly.
