well honestly I can really tell you if it would be compatible without seeing it because there are various types that are widely used... The ones we are dealing with are typically... hey Ill just google image one and show YOU what it should look like :)

The one on the right (the smallerish one) is the end you want to have on all your components for the project :)

Its called a "Futaba J" connector
that one is the Male connector. Most sites give you the option of a male or female connector.
On all orders for this project, if given the option, get the "Futaba J male connector" for it :)


Hope this helped!
