Even after he's gone, he's still helping people out. Thanks, JC, for straightening out the JST mess for me.
Where did he go????
@@HugDeeznueces He tragically died in a motorcycle accident.
😔
@floorpizza actually

Wow! I haven't been here since JC died. You are still giving us help to this day. RIP
What happened? I stumbled on this when looking for reference info about JST connectors.
@@emmettturner9452 motorcycle crash. He lost control.
@@octapc Yikes. I ride too. Hope his family is doing OK. :(
Thanks so much for putting this together! I've spent so much time trying to figure out what connector I need for my 4-in-one exc to omnibus and now I understand what I need!
He's no more to read your words! :(
Another great vid JC.
Built an AWK210 after seeing your review and I have not been disappointed, thank you!
I 3d printed a ninja flex sleeve to take up the gap between the camera mount and my run cam swift 2/hs1177 style. Soft-mounted cam;-)
Still great info... This is why you are so greatly missed by so many thousands... Rest well my friend.
MARSHALL AMPLIFIER TYPE: Glad I found this. It helped immensely with my own search for an obscure part. I hope you will forgive me for posting this for others who may find it too coming from the same field as myself.
Just for reference for anyone who comes here as I did looking to identify them from their guitar amplifier, Marshall use a version of these on their PCBs in most of their amp models. They chose the slimmest in the range, the "EH" type which isn't shown in the video above as it is obviously a separate application. They are 2.5mm pitch with a 3 sided shroud open all along the whole of one long side on the PCB mounted male socket. It also has two slots on each side, one internal to the shroud and one through it. The wire mounting female plug has two locating/locking ridges down both of its short edges which fit into those slots. The socket also has small vertical ridges along the shroud back wall between each of the terminals while the plug has notches to register with them.
Great job explaining the connector types... been searching everywhere trying to understand these cables and connectors...
Outstanding JC! I'll be coming back to this one over and over. I also like your Birds and the Bees explanation, haha :)
man this guy was so helpful and full of so much info ... God Bless your soul JC
thanks for the video. JSTs drive me insane
This is going to help a ton of people. Great video.
I have searched and searched and I think you have just shown the mystery connector I've looked for. Thank you!
Great video. Simple explanation for what has been complicated to solve on my own.
There is a bit of a learning curve for JST but after you wade through it is makes sense.
There are series of connectors. The x.xmm values is the pitch or the spacing of the pins
EH - 2.5mm
PH - 2.0mm
ZH - 1.5mm
SH - 1.0mm
ACH - 1.2mm Wire to Wire
There are 3 components to a PCB connector.
The Contacts /pins
The Header/ piece mounted on PCB
The Housing/ The piece that fits into the Header
The ACH - Wire to Wire
Plug Contact and Socket contact ----- remember pins are called contacts.
They have Plug Housings and Socket Housings. look at it like a plug and wall socket.
The Plug contacts/pin fits in the Plug housing.
The Socket contacts are placed in the Socket housing.
So if you jump to 6:15 the beige connector on the PCB is the header. The white connector is
the housing. The contact fits in the housing.
You have to make sure that you order the correct series of contacts. The contacts or pins are either
EH,PH or what ever.
You have to watch as sometimes they will call a small connector JST when its not. That beige header does not look like a JST header.
I'm posting this just to solidify what I learned a few weeks ago.........Teaching it is the first steps in knowing it.
thanks
thank you, i always thought there was 10 holes ever inch on most pcbs, thats t he 2.54mm i have a bunch of crimps there are all JX wtf does this even mean? these connectors say jst-xh
This is such a life saver, it even works with Dell OEM PC cases for custom build.. cause Alienware likes to use those for their own motherboard and not for any other so this resolves everything!! Thank you so much!!!
You just saved my (JST) life. 4 years after video release.
It is amazing how much he taught us. Rest in Peace JC!
still got most of his videos saved as a playlist, very informative. Such a shame RIP
Wait he's dead? What happened?
@@thanhavictus He died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. He is missed here on his channel for sure but a lot of his advice and tutorials are still relevant today.
awesome show! I always learn something from watching your Channel! thank you, now I know right where to go to get my jst connectors.
Thanks for the tip....and thanks for the very good videos you produce plus all the hard work...
People like you make the internet what it is. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share this helpful experience.
how many times did i find your videos when i needed infos , thanks a lot lot dude, rip.
I just visit your page just to hear your voice brother. Rest in heaven.
How and where do you get the correct tools and crips to build your own connectors?
Particularly the JST-SH, 1.0mm spacing one's?
Thanks so much for the info. Not in this hobby circle but I was just looking to add a JST connector to a circuit I'm building and didn't expect... all this.
First of all I really like your videos, very high signal to noise :-)
The way I tell the JST-SH from a Pico Blade connectors is the PB has one or more humps on the back and the JST-SH is flat. Also the JST-ZH (Spektrum Sat) pins are round, where the JST-SH and Pico Blades are flat.
The JST 2.0 common to the hobby would be a JST-PH, popular on nano quads like the Tiny Whoop, et.al.
The JST 2.5 is actually a JST-XH.
The very first connector you showed but didn't name was a JST-RCY, which is commonly used for micro quad battery connectors.
To solve the problem of crappy plastic insulation, I custom make all my cables and hand crimp the connectors (Pico Blades are a real pain) using a Engineer PA-09 crimper.
FWIW, the Pico Blade and JST-RCY connectors are suitable for wire to wire connections. The PB is good for signal ( < 1A ) and JST-RCY for low power ( < 3A ) applications. I like to make my builds modular where possible as I'm often having to repair them (I suck a flying).
I get the connector and pins from Digikey.
Hi. Do you have a link to a place you like where we can buy the connectors if we want to crimp our own? I am a noob so I am not sure of the size but I build 5" quads (JST 2.0?). Thanks!
Hi Robert,i am Grace,nice to know you are interested in JST -PH connector ,we are manufacture in China ,send your inquiry to me: sales@szchanghe.com.cn ,i will provide perfect solution for you.
whats the strange 5 pin connector you mentioned from RMRC? You stated it at 9:10 into the video. Its the same one found on most Lumenier cams and VTxs as well as on the TBS UNify Pro HV
A great video and explanation. I can't believe I found you, and just in time. I broke the wires of my JST cable when my receiver got yanked out of my quad after coming down hard (ie: a slight crash....LOL). Have been asking around everywhere else and everyone else of the who's who in this quad hobby and no one could tell me what the cable was or what it was called or where to get one. Buy a new flight board they said. I'd still only get one cable - I said. Now I have found what I need on ebay of all places, and I have you to thank for it. Cheers and keep up the good work. I've subscribed.
He's no more to read your words! :(
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wondering where in the world I can get high quality silicone wire harnesses for things like the XSR. Now I know.
Thank you very much!!! You just solved a 2 year problem I've been having trying to locate the right JST 2mm 3pin. Found the exact ones I need on ebay and just ordered them. Thanks again!!!!
Up Up n Away,
Michael
Wad up Micheal, i need a JST 0.8mm 5pin with a converter to usb otg, any idea where i can get that. Thanks
Thank you for the video, it's very clear. What AWG size is suitable for each?
im always so happy when i look for something and see You made video covering it :D , is there some kit avilable that would cover most of them? i mean to let me do my custom ones?
Thanks this video really helped me. I have various size JsT’s on a Ho Scale locomotive sound DCC decoder. I need some extra JST’s to be able to test this decoder with a test kit that I have. So thanks again
So glad I found this.! Thankyou JC.! R.I.P.
I have some leds I want to rig up to my quad and I have 22 gauge wire I’ll solder to the led but I am not sure what connector I need to plug into the 3s battery?
Dude. I wish you had posted this 2 weeks ago. I just bought a drone from a swap meet and was trying to figure out what I needed and it took me a couple of hours to try and figure it out. fortunately I did get the right connectors but this video would have saved me a ton of time. thanks for all the great content man.
Do these connectors just push in and pull out or do you have to squeeze some tab to work them? I'm always afraid of damaging a connection if I just yank them out.
Very good. Is the 1.25 mm the spacing pin to pin?Please cover the different methods of controller output to ESC.
Still giving back bro..... After so long, you are STILL answering my questions... Happy flying brother ;)
Do you know what the connector is on the foxeer tm25 switcher? It has a clip on it that you push to release it.
love your videos. very good job. thank you!
Perplexity AI recommended this video in relation to trying to identify a JST connector. Looks like this creator has passed away, but his legacy continues to live on helping people.
I need help to determine which one is the smaller connector overall for 5 pin... I need to pass 5 leads cable through small hole (electric guitar pickups with 28awg leads) is the SH 1.0 the smaller or there's another? Thanks in advance!
great vid man wonder why i didn't get the jst's i wanted. 😁the male end pin looks like well you know...🤣
Hurrah best video this year! Bloody things drive me up the wall.
I have an older Zenith television that currently has a mono chasis but want to upgrade it with a stereo version of the same chasis. The speaker connector that goes to the board looks like a JST maie two pin. Not sure of the size though. I have one speaker with the proper connector attached to wires but need another one for the second speaker. Can you do a video on the various two pin JST connectors? Thanks.
Great Video - super helpful. Thanks!
Suddenly, a big fuzzy part of the hobby comes into focus!
Are there dedicated tools to remove/unplug these connectors? Some smaller ones are difficult to remove with fingers.
Super helpful. What are the tiny jst on say a BetaFPV tiny whoop motors? Thanks
He's no more to read your words! :(
A little general information on plugs and sockets. If it’s got pins it’s a plug and if it has holes it’s a socket. The shell defines the gender. The JST battery connectors in the video are thus. The plug fixed to the pcb is female and the socket on the end of the battery cable is male. So you can have female plugs and male sockets.
EXCELLENT tutorial on RC harness/connectors👍 Thank You❗

@@Firografi what happend to hi,m?
@@goofusdoobus2179 : He passed away in a motorbike accident. Around 2 days after his last video.
Finally someone who explains it properly, thanks!
I was trying to figure out this exact problem about a week ago for tiny whoop battery connectors. FYI micro JST 1.25, also was trying to figure out what the so-called Power Whoop connector was called... JST-PH 2.0.. I know you are going to save some people at least a few hours of research if not days worth of waiting for the wrong part to ship. Thanks
Best information ever, thanks. Appreciate your feed
How could this be interesting? But it was! Good info, thx.
For hookup wire try Adafruit they have 22awg stranded wire with silicone insulation. Its very flex-able I use it for all my cables.
Awesome video! Question, what do you call the metal pins attached to the wires? Is there a way I could attach one of those to a wire?
He's no more to answer you! :(
I definitely learbed something today. Thanks man
Great tutorial JC, have you tried crimping some of these terminals ? Man !.. Its enough to test anyone's patience. I dropped a few on the living room carpet....Never did find em again...D'oh.!!
I have a JJRC H36 micro drone. What I want to know is the name of the connector used on it's 3.7v 150mah battery called? Is it the male and the female connector?
Thanks,
Jerry Parent
try aliexpress the prices there are much lower, and much appreciation for all youre tutorials, it helps allot of ppl like me who dont have much knowledge about electronics and are new to the hobby like me, on one of your other videos i made a request on how to make the frsky x8r receiver work with the omnibus f4 v3 , ive hit a dead end
This helped me Id the connector I had on a laser engraver, thank you so much.
I need a replacement cable for my xecuter 2.6 modchip. I'm not sure if it's a molex picoblade female 8 pin connector wire or a 1.0mm 8 pin female jst connector wire.
So Helpful! TYSM! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks specifically for the Male vs Female end. Great, helpful vid.

Finally a video i can point people too.
Another one for the RC bible. Thanks pal!
needed that!
Great video. How do I find the JST 1.0 mm five pin male connector with wires? I do not see them on ebay. Is there a pc board for connecting the 1.0mm male wireless five pin connector?

Firografi wow sorry to hear.
@@ksolomon43 : yeah! Sad indeed. But he left a lot for us to learn.
Is there a certain way they go back in the connector the little metal end on the wire?
Hello and thanks for your fabulous tutorial, I can not find already prepared cables with 2 male connectors 3Pin 15 cm Molex Micro JST PicoBlade 1.25 mm, in the links you provided have only one connector, I have to find them with two 3-pin connectors male, but I can not find them. can you give me a tip? hello from Italy, Samuel.
In a Visuo XS809HW drone. Identify the Name of the connector (plug) that connects the proprietry battery when inserted into the Drone? Thanks, Jerry Parent
I buy the connectors and crimp pins as a kit, and just insert my own silicone wire. It's the only way to make sure they have silicone wire. Always go for silicone wire. Here's a quick tip: pre-tin the wire, insert it while the connector is still part of the metal stock strip and crimp it using really thin pliers, or even your sidecutters. Then solder it. NEVER crimp pre-tinned wires unless you're also soldering them in place.
Yeah JST's, require a whole different set of schooling. lol :)
We have a good teacher, thanks JC.
There aren't enough like buttons on this video,
recently i bought a drone (gteng t905f ) it has proprietary 4 pin connector attached to a 2s lipo battery....my question is that can replace 2 pin connector with a 4 pin jst connector on 2s lipo battery? and how? because i can't find the proprietary batteries online
I need a 4 pin male that plugs into my Yamaha Bruin power port? Not sure where to get it
Good review..
Every seller / maker must provide details specification regarding types of connector that they install on their electronic parts.. Just simply put in the website..
ive got a problem with my f3 sp fc. i cant get in it. i flashed it with bootlaoder pins and flashed fine. powered of and on but i still cant get in it. is jt broken?
Is there a good place to buy just the female pins? Specifically the 1.0mm and 1.25mm. I can find the tool for attaching them, as you mentioned they are quite expensive and I'm still looking for a good deal on one. But I would like to add my own pins so I don't have to solder wires together to connect two connectors and eliminate excess wire. Or if there is a site to just order different length wires that have the pins already crimped to both sides would be helpful too. Thanks in advance for any info you have.
I know hobby king has some cheap crimping pliers ($15). What are your thoughts on those vs. something like the engineer pa-21 ($50)?
Gracias por el video me diste mucha informacion
Great tips, thanks a ton because you just saved me a ton of money and aggravation. This is just one more reason we need standards in electronics! One question though, if I was search for wire for these what gauge wire would be best and is there the potential for one size fits all with respect to wire size? I dont want to bother buying premade connectors and would rather have a kit where I can build my own in whatever size and length I need for a project.
He's no more to read your words or answer you! :(
The appropriate size wires for JST connectors are a range, not one size fits all. Wikipedia lays it out nicely in a table. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector
I have LRP 3200mah lipo with a XHR-3P connector bought for my Sanwa MT44. The LRP lipo does not have a separate balance lead how do I connect this to a charger that has an XT60 charge port and a balance lead port for 1-6s Lipo's. I'm stuck on how I charge the LRP lipo with the included XHR-3P connector.
Very informative. Thank you.
He's no more to read your words! :(
if there are different color but same it's ok to connect?
I god camera that has 3pin (female) that is slightly wider then the 3pin input (male) that i have in my FC. So i assume this is the topic. How do i solve it? Are there any adapters 1mm to 1.25? Or vice versa? Or can i simply cut the wires and swap the female parts (i have proper cable with fitting female part on old camera)?
Thank you pal, good video
This is very helpful!
He's no more to read your words! :(
I can't find the type of cable and connector I need anywhere, any chance you could help me identify it? It's for the camera assembly to drone connector on an X-Star Premium - 12 pins/wires, appears to be male to female.
Which size would i use for guitar pickups gage size 28 AWG??
He's no more to read your words! :(
have months looking for this
2 thumbs up
Can you please refer to the amount of current these connectors can hold?
Have u ever found JST 8 pin 1mm cable that works like an extension? So it has a female head at one end, and male at the other.
i need a 2.5 six pin extension. two wires are 20 awg and four wires are 16 awg. how would you go about finding something so specific? im not even sure how to format a search. also, it needs a clip on the female end...
Make it yourself? Buy the conector with the metall things but without wire and crimp wires to it.
R.I.P 😔
Rest in peace. You're still helping.
thanks you, this vid saved me some time
