What connector type.

**johngoodrich** · 08-07-2020

Hi all. I need a 6 pin connector for this board. Could any one give e me a link to where I can buy one in the uk. Plenty from China but I could do with one soon. Thanks all

For these Arduino type boards, I often use individual connector pins and super glue them together.

Thanks dean. Have you got a link to any by any chance

Look at Dupont connector shells and crimps.

If you want a generic loom making up and don't want to shell out for the crimping tool I'm happy to post one out if you give me details of what you need. PM if you want.

Edit: am I going senile or have you chopped that board in two?

Thanks for that. Found some dupont connectors on amazon, coming tomorrow.

It does look like its chopped in half, but it's actually half in a foil antistatic bag.

I'm pretty sure Molex also do some that will mate with that header.

How thick are the pins?
Maybe these will fit. Either:
Lipo balance cable 5s (JST-XH).
Or a few 2 pin JST type.

XH are 2.5mm pitch - the Duponts are 2.54mm

As Jazz says, grab a bunch of Arduino patch cables and glue them if you want something off the shelf. Or PM.

Edit: JST-RE might fit - they are similar to the Dupont.

This is 2.54:

If you can find an Arduino header, often supplied unsoldered with some Arduino boards, you can bodge a connector together in a hurry. Tin the pins, solder on the wires and put heatshrink sleeving on each one.
