JST Male Connector 2.54mm (2-Pin) (Straight / Right Angle)

JST Male Connector 2.54mm (2-Pin) — Product Overview

The JST Male Connector 2.54mm (2-Pin) is a compact, reliable connector designed for secure electrical connections in PCBs and DIY electronics. Offered in both straight and right-angle variants, this connector is optimized for small-scale projects that require dependable power or signal lines.

Key Features

• Standard 2.54mm pitch for broad compatibility with perfboards, PCBs, and common headers
• 2-pin configuration ideal for low-voltage power or single-channel signal connections
• Available in straight (vertical) and right-angle (horizontal) mounting styles to suit board layout needs
• Durable plastic housing with corrosion-resistant metal contacts for long service life
• Compact and lightweight — suitable for space-constrained designs

Specifications

• Type: JST Male Connector
• Pitch: 2.54mm
• Pin Count: 2-pin
• Variants: Straight and Right Angle
• Materials: Plastic housing, metal (tin/bronze or plated) contacts

Variants and Mounting Options

Choose the connector variant based on your PCB layout and wiring orientation:

• Straight (vertical) — common for upward-facing wire connections and through-hole boards
• Right Angle (horizontal) — space-saving option for edge connections and low-profile assemblies

Common Applications

• Arduino and microcontroller projects
• Robotics and automation systems
• RC models, drones, and battery connectors
• Sensors, modules, and prototyping circuits
• Wiring harnesses and small electronic appliances

Materials, Durability, and Electrical Performance

Constructed with a durable plastic housing and high-quality metal contacts, this JST connector provides stable conductivity and resistance to wear and corrosion. Contacts are designed for multiple mating cycles and offer reliable low-voltage performance for both power and signal applications.

Installation Tips

• Verify the 2.54mm pitch against your PCB or header before soldering.
• For secure connections use properly crimped wires or soldered leads; avoid loose wiring that may cause intermittent contact.
• When mounting right-angle connectors, confirm clearance for adjacent components or enclosures.
• Inspect pins for alignment before insertion to prevent bent contacts and ensure reliable mating.

Compatibility

This connector is compatible with standard 2.54mm headers, breadboards, perfboards, and most hobbyist and professional PCB designs. It works well with Arduino shields, sensor boards, and custom wiring harnesses.
