Product Description
The JST XH 2.54mm 5-Pin Male Connector Header is a reliable through-hole mounting connector designed for secure, polarized wire-to-board connections in electronic projects and power circuits. Featuring a standard 2.54mm pitch spacing—matching typical breadboard and header pin spacing—and a robust shrouded housing, it ensures secure mating with matching JST XH female cable assemblies while preventing reverse polarity insertion.
Essential for multi-wire sensor arrays, custom ribbon harnesses, and peripheral module wiring, this header solders cleanly onto printed circuit boards for durable five-conductor electrical connections.
⚠️ Polarity & Pinout Tip: Always verify your circuit’s exact pin assignment (such as power, ground, and data signals) against your mating cable before powering on your devices to prevent accidental short circuits or reverse-voltage damage.
Technical & Architectural Highlights
