Safety trim wiring in parallel

[Esser]

This is for the brand “safety trim”. It’s a controller that slows down the speed of the trim motor in faster flight. It also has runway protection etc. It’s wiring diagrams have a lot of the wires wired in parallel. So you would have two wires attach to the red and two to the black on the motor. And I’m not sure with a 18-22 butt splice if I can put two 20 gauge wires in One end.

OK, now I see what you are talking about.

Josh, What model trim contoller do you have? Sounds like you might have a dual axis controller and harness for single axis use. Should have 10 wires for single axis and 14 for dual axis - none doubled up.

On current single axis models - #3 (yellow) should go to red (+) on the servo and #4 (also yellow) should go to black (-) on the servo.

It is single axis model ST-1-12v-2sp-HD

Here are pictures of my install instructions from TCW and kiyfox. Note pins 4,12 3,11 7,15 1,9

I just noticed that there is s note that says these parallel connections are for servos rated for more than 5 Amps. So why is the Servo itself a 22awg wire?

I don’t know why my pictures are posting so small. Hope you can still see

Your servo is likely rated for way less than 5 amps, hence 22 ga wire. If so this is the wiring diagram currently being used:
