JST Male Connector 2.0mm (6-Pin) (Straight)

The JST 2.0mm 6-Pin Male Connector is a compact PCB-mounted wire-to-board header used for reliable multi-signal and low-power connections in embedded electronics, robotics, drones, Arduino/ESP32 systems, and sensor interfaces. It belongs to the widely used JST PH series (2.0mm pitch), known for its small footprint, secure locking, and high reliability in vibration-prone applications.

This connector is available in straight (vertical) version to support flexible PCB layout and enclosure design.

Key Features

• 6-Pin Configuration: Supports multiple signal lines or power and data combinations
• 2.0mm Pitch (JST PH Series): Compact spacing for high-density PCB designs
• Secure Locking System: Ensures firm mating with JST PH female housings
• Through-Hole PCB Mounting: Strong mechanical stability for reliable operation
• Low Profile Design: Ideal for drones, IoT devices, and compact electronics
• Vibration Resistant: Suitable for robotics and moving systems

Technical Specifications

• Connector Type: JST PH Male Header
• Pin Count: 6 Pin
• Pitch: 2.0mm
• Mounting Type: Through-hole soldering
• Current Rating: Up to 2A per pin
• Voltage Rating: Up to 100V DC
• Material: Nylon housing with tin-plated brass pins
• Operating Temperature: Approximately -25°C to +85°C

How It Works

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

• Male header pins are soldered onto a PCB
• A matching JST PH 6-pin female housing (crimped wires) connects to it
• The keyed structure ensures correct orientation and prevents reverse insertion
• Each pin carries an independent electrical path (signal, ground, or power)

When to Use Straight Connectors

• Vertical cable connection is preferred
• Adequate space exists above the PCB

Applications

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

Advantages

• Very compact 2.0mm pitch design
• Reliable locking prevents accidental disconnection
• Industry-standard connector system
• Easy integration into PCB layouts
• Stable performance in vibration environments

Installation and Usage Tips

• Always match with JST PH 2.0mm female connector housing
• Confirm pin orientation before soldering
• Use right-angle type for tight enclosures
• Avoid forcing connectors during mating
• Ensure strong solder joints for mechanical strength
