How do I know what JST connectors I have?

JST connectors are mostly identified by the length between one contanct to the centre of another contact. There are always between two to higher contacts in a single line. Some families have multiple rows as well. This length is the pitch of the connector type and determines the family that the connector is a part off.

Are all JST connectors the same?

We start with the JST XH series. Its pitch of 2.5 mm is effectively identical to the 0.1″ pitch commonly found on prototyping breadboards. After the XH series, the pin pitch gets narrower, the wires get thinner, and the connectors are more fragile through PH (2.0 mm), ZH (1.5 mm), GH (1.25 mm), and SH (1.0 mm).

What are the different types of JST connectors?

Connector series

What is the smallest JST connector?

ZH (1.5mm pitch) ZH is one of the smallest pitch types of through-hole JST connector.

How do I know what size connector I need?

Connector size is often listed in the format OD (outer diameter) × ID (inner diameter) × L (length of barrel) and expressed in millimeters. Designations may vary between manufacturers. Coaxial plugs that have a male center pin will have another measurement, Center Pin Diameter (CPD).

How many amps can a JST connector handle?

5 amps
JST connectors carry low currents (5 amps) and are most commonly found in on-board electrics such as servos, gyros, receivers and receiver switches.

What is a JST SH connector?

JST-SH is a 1.0 mm pitch/ disconnectable crimp style connector used on several of the OpenPilot boards. It is used for it small size and reliable connection.

Can I use an AC adapter for DC?

Each AC/DC power adapter is specifically designed to accept a certain AC input (usually the standard output from a 120 V AC outlet in your home) and convert it to a particular DC output. Voltage is measured in volts (V), and current is measured in amps (A).

How do I know if my AC adapter is compatible?

Any AC adapter is considered compatible with any device if it has all the following traits:

1. The voltage of the adapter has to be identical.
2. The amperage (amps) of the adapter has to be equal or greater than the device.
3. The polarity of the adapter has to be identical.

How do I get rid of crimped connections?

In most cases, connectors either hold the wire in with a small metal prong or they are crushed onto the wire. With a gentle tug, the wire usually pulls out of the connector. Place a pair of wire cutters next to the connector and cut the wire to remove it from the connector.

Who are the manufacturers of JST connectors?

JST connector s are electrical connectors manufactured to the design standards originally developed by J.S.T. Mfg. Co. ( J apan S olderless T erminal). JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors.

How many JST-pH connectors do I Need?

750 Pieces 2.0mm JST-PH JST Connector Kit. 2.0mm Pitch Female Pin Header, JST PH – 2 / 3 / 4 Pin Housing JST Adapter Cable Connector Socket Male and Female, Crimp DIP Kit. . . . . .

Which is the smallest JST through hole connector?

ZH is one of the smallest pitch types of through-hole JST connector. Types smaller than this are all SMD. I’ve never used or come across one myself. Please drop me a comment if you know of a common application. Numbers in bold can be changed to order connectors with a different number of positions. SZH-002T-P0.5‎

Where can I find a positive latch JST connector?

Generally found in consumer products (for example: Japanese brand LCD televisions) which need to perform well in HALT testing. They feature a positive latch instead of the weaker friction latch used by their PH/XH cousins. One rather unexpected feature is that they do not accept the same contacts as PH/XH.
