JST Male Connector 2.0mm (5-Pin) (Straight)

The JST 2.0mm 5-Pin Male Connector is a compact PCB-mounted wire-to-board header used for reliable multi-signal and low-power connections in electronics projects, robotics, drones, Arduino/ESP32 systems, and embedded circuits. It belongs to the JST PH series (2.0mm pitch), which is widely adopted for compact, high-density PCB designs requiring secure and stable connectivity.

This connector is available in straight (vertical) variant, allowing flexible PCB layout and enclosure design.

Key Features

• 5-Pin Configuration: Suitable for power + multiple signal lines
• 2.0mm Pitch (JST PH Series): Compact spacing for dense PCB layouts
• Secure Locking System: Ensures firm mating with JST PH female housings
• Through-Hole PCB Mounting: Strong mechanical stability for vibration environments
• Low Profile Design: Ideal for drones, IoT devices, and embedded systems
• Reliable Electrical Contacts: Stable signal transmission for continuous use

Technical Specifications

• Connector Type: JST PH Male Header
• Pin Count: 5 Pin
• Pitch: 2.0mm
• Mounting Type: Through-hole soldering
• Current Rating: Typically up to 2A per pin
• Voltage Rating: Up to 100V DC (depends on variant)
• Material: Nylon housing with tin-plated metal pins
• Operating Temperature: Approx. -25°C to +85°C

Working Principle

The connector functions as a wire-to-board interface system:

• Male header pins are soldered onto a PCB
• A matching JST PH 5-pin female housing (crimped wires) plugs into it
• The keyed design ensures correct polarity and prevents reverse insertion
• Each pin carries a separate electrical line (power, ground, or signal)

When to Use Straight Versions

• Vertical cable connection is preferred
• There is sufficient space above the board

Applications

• Arduino and ESP32 development boards
• Robotics and automation systems
• Drone flight controllers and electronics
• Sensor modules and multi-signal wiring
• Battery-powered devices (1S LiPo systems)
• PCB prototyping and embedded electronics

Advantages

• Compact 2.0mm pitch saves PCB space
• Secure locking reduces accidental disconnection
• Industry-standard connector for embedded systems
• Easy integration into PCB designs
• Reliable performance in vibration environments

Usage Tips

• Always match with JST PH 2.0mm female housing
• Verify pin alignment before soldering
• Use right-angle type for compact enclosures
• Avoid forcing connectors during insertion/removal
• Ensure strong solder joints for durability
