This 1.25 mm pitch 5-pin cable is a compact, Molex PicoBlade-compatible connector cable for projects where standard 0.1″ headers are too bulky. At 20 cm long, it provides a convenient connection length for internal wiring without excess slack.
The friction-lock connectors provide a secure, click-in connection that is easy to mate and unmate. This cable uses 1:1 symmetric wiring, meaning pin 1 on one connector maps directly to pin 1 on the other side.
Key Features

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- JST PH
- A small keyed plug-and-socket connector with 2 mm pin spacing, often used for low-power electronics connections. You need the correct JST PH cable, and its current rating limits how much power should be passed through it.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
