This receiver has 6 PWM servo connectors.
Smallest Tandem (dual frequency) with 6 channel ports:

The TDMX is smaller, but need to use a serial bus servo (or similar) to get the 6 channels.
Smallest 6 channel on just the 2.4 band with 6 channels are the following:

These days most people are using either a Tandem or an Archer based receiver. Tandem is dual frequency, great for larger models. The Archer line is popular as it costs less, works better for tighter airframes and is still very reliable.
