21	21	|(% style="width:350px" %)[[image:LSS - idler.png||width="400"]]|The idler horn is not driven and allows a free-spinning horn to be placed in one of three locations on the servo. The idler horn sub-assembly consists of a spacer, a ball bearing and the idler horn itself. The idler horn is held in place using a 3mm machine screw.

In order to receive or send a command / signal only one side needs to be connected. The other connector need only be used when adding another servo to the chain.
