In recent years, it is preferred to use millimeter (mm) instead of inches for pin-to-pin pitch distance. website has a tool which allows users to check certain models for their authenticity and specifications. To minimize confusion, it is best to describe a connector using: the manufacturer's name, exact connector series, and optionally the pitch such as 'JST-XH' or 'JST-XH-2.50mm' or '2.50mm JST XH-series' or other variations. Unfortunately, it is very common in blogs and websites to incorrectly name a specific connector only by the name of the manufacturer.

Connector confusion on the internetĮnd-users and 3rd-party sellers on eBay often describe connectors by their wrong name thus perpetuating confusion of the exact series of a specific connector. Lizone manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors such as JST 2 Pin Connectors, JST 3 Pin Connectors, JST 4. Some JST surface-mount headers are designed to handle higher temperatures of reflow soldering. Also, be aware of imperial/metric conversions, for example, a common problem is that 2.5 mm connectors are different from 2.54 mm (0.1 inches) connectors, despite their often misleading titles. Used in some RGB LED decorative light strips.Ī majority of JST through-hole headers can't withstand the temperatures required for reflow soldering, because the plastic has a lower melting point since they were designed for wave soldering methods.

Commonly found on small models, toys, and small lipo packs. Used in radio control (R/C), also known as BEC or P connector. Some people confuse with Molex PicoBlade. Used by FMA Cellpro R/C battery chargers.Ĭompatible with KR, KRD, CR series.

Unshrouded seems to be more popular than shrouded. The PCB (wire-to-board) connectors are available in top (vertical) or side (horizontal) entry, and through-hole or surface-mount. JST manufactures a large number of series (families) of connectors.
