The Gen1 Thread-In Male Connector is a 3 pole 1/8″ connector that is installed in thread-in emitter hilts to connect the female blade to the male saber.
This OEM connector has been disassembled and rebuilt by SaberForge with a 10x stronger 7075 central strut. This upgrade was necessary on the Gen1 system since the shorter .25″ female threads in the Gen1 saber emitters do not protect the connector from impact. The upgraded central strut we added prevents that failure.
If you have a Gen1 thread-in saber with .25 length threads in the emitter DO NOT BUY a Gen2 connector. If you have a Gen2 thread-in saber with .60 length threads either Gen1 or Gen2 connector can be used.
