I have also seen older 8-pin to 12-pin versions, 4+4 pin to 12 Volt versions, 6+2 pin to PCI Express power cable and some more peculiar PSU connectors to ATX. Molex makes three different version, 4-pin, 20-pin and 24-pin. Also made by Molex these a quite durable and last a long time and because of their prolific use they have their own section. Regularly seen in as connectors inside computers connecting the power supply to a ATX style motherboard. There are also some sealed molex connector families which you can find in the next table below or on the Molex website.Īll Molex sealed connectors families can be seen below. They are only 1.25mm pitch but retain a satisfying and sturdy click connection.Ĭheck out this for a Molex jumper 6 wire assembly.īelow is a big table of all the Molex connector families avaliable. For when 0.1 inch is too big and JST PH connectors are too chunky, the ultra-slim PicoBlade is the way to go. When these connect together it is really very nice and satisfying.Īlso the PicoBlade is an excellent Molex connector for small and reliable connection. The larger ones are all fairly water resistant as well and they all lock into place. Regularly seen in automotive applications the larger connects are very durable. If you want a whole bunch of GPIO DuPont Style connectors just check out this 100 pack. They create a very sturdy connection and can come in multiple different sizes.

Great for plugging into GPIO pins as they fill the space whilst giving enough room for other ones to fit in. Know however the JST standard is to always use the metric system. Note here the * in reference to the XH-JST Connectors, some manufacturers will use 2.54 and 2.5mm pitch interchangeably with connectors with less than 4 pins. See below for an expansive table with images and general application of all families of this connector type. Next, you need to determine the shape and size of the housing. When identifying what particular connector you have determine this pitch value first. For example connector in the family 'PH' all have a 2.00mm pitch. This length is the pitch of the connector type and determines the family that the connector is a part off. Some families have multiple rows as well. There are always between two to higher contacts in a single line. JST connectors are mostly identified by the length between one contanct to the centre of another contact. Below is an image of some common types of JST connectors that exist. Also as an interesting fact, our PiccoDev Connectors are a 4-wire harness with 1mm pitch SH JST connectors at each end. 05mm too big or small for their needs. There is a deep dive on what exactly a JST connector is and the many different types which can be found at this location. Check out this kit for all the JST connectors a maker's big heart could desire. The only issue with JST is the confusing naming scheme that often has hobbyists chasing their tails with connectors ending up.

This is an inexpensive and reliable connector type. Often you find them attached to batteries, motors and circuit boards. Do not recommend utilising them in applications where the connector is under considerable stresses or forces. The JST system is primarily designed to bridge electrical connections or carry an electrical signal.

Japanese Solderless Terminal, also referred to as JST, is manufactured by a Japanese company of the same name. Below is an overview for all the connectors in this guide. This guide will enable quick identification of connectors, provide their regular purposes and highlight any special features. For someone in this position this page should serve as a good reference point, somewhere you can quickly come to see an image of your connector and thus quickly figure out the name. Connectors rarely if ever have their name written on them so you end up searching high and low just to figure it out. But if you do not know the name of the connector you end up completely stumped as your unable to source it. Often when starting your way into the electronics world all you need is the right connector piece to put 'hardware 1' to 'hardware 2'. There are a ton of electrical wire connectors, too many to elaborate on in a single guide, however there are a couple of connectors that as a maker you will come across.
