I'm trying to find the correct adapter to upgrade the power supply to a Power Perch(s). I prefer to use one of these https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__4842__Receiver_Switch_3_plug_Suits_JR_Futaba.html to integrate power/charging to the "Perch" without soldering in.

Lots of "Plugs" for multiple charging set-ups in the Google-verse but I'm not seeing the reverse part(s)/adaptors I'm looking for.

Any R/C folks out there familiar with what I'm trying to find?

I know this is a tried and well respected product but for my plans I'd prefer a little extra headroom power wise.
 
I can't say I've ever seen a pre-made adapter of any kind to work with this connector, but if you're willing to put some pieces together you should be able to pull together what you want. The connector you're looking for is a Molex 1.25mm picoblade. Hobbyking makes extensions for these (https://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=9727) which can be chopped apart and reconnected to what ever other connector(s) you wish. You can also buy all the bits and pieces from electronics places like Digikey, etc... but you'll have a tough time with the crimps.
 
I'm a little confused as to what connector(s) you are looking for. mind highlighting them or sketching up a little drawing?

one place I've ordered rc connectors from in the past is this guy:

https://www.rc-connectors.com/

poke around his site and see if you can find what your looking for.
 
If I recall correctly, the MCX style connectors are Molex Picoblade series. An example plug is here.

The MSR style connectors are JST XH series. An example plug is here.

It looks like you need the Picoblade style connectors, but you can measure the pin to pin spacing and see if it's 1.25mm or 2.5mm to be sure.
