JST Male Connector 2.0mm (2-Pin) (Straight)

JST Male Connector 2.0mm (2-Pin) – Straight PCB Header

The JST 2.0mm 2-Pin Male Connector is a compact wire-to-board PCB header connector widely used in drones, robotics, battery systems, sensors, and embedded electronics. It provides a secure, keyed, and low-profile connection that ensures reliable signal and power transfer in small electronic assemblies.

This connector belongs to the JST PH 2.0mm series, which is one of the most common connector families for low-current electronic systems and LiPo-based devices.

Key Features

• 2-Pin Configuration: Ideal for power or single signal line connections
• 2.0mm Pitch Standard: Compact spacing for high-density PCB designs
• Secure Locking Design: Ensures firm mating with JST female housings
• Low Profile Build: Suitable for compact drone and IoT circuits
• Reliable Electrical Contact: Stable connection for low-voltage DC applications
• Through-Hole Mounting: Strong mechanical stability on PCBs

Technical Specifications

• Connector Type: JST PH Series Male Header

How It Works

The connector functions as a board-mounted interface point:

• Male pins are soldered onto a PCB
• A matching JST PH female connector (crimped wires) plugs into it
• The keyed housing ensures correct polarity alignment
• Electrical continuity is established through metal contact pins

Straight Connector Applications

• Vertical cable connections
• Open PCB designs with overhead clearance

Common Applications

• Arduino and ESP32 projects
• Drone and RC electronics
• Battery connectors (1S LiPo systems)
• Sensors and small modules
• Robotics and automation systems
• PCB prototyping and embedded circuits

Advantages of JST 2.0mm Male Connectors

• Very compact 2.0mm pitch design
• Strong and reliable locking mechanism
• Easy integration into small electronics
• Widely available standard connector system
• Reduces wiring errors due to keyed orientation

Usage Tips

• Always confirm 2.0mm pitch (PH series) before purchase
• Match correctly with JST PH female housing
• Do not force insertion – ensure alignment first
• Choose right-angle variant for low-profile designs
• Use proper soldering to avoid weak PCB joints
