A matching pair of 2-pin JST XH-compatible cables — one with an inline plug and one with an inline socket — for easy connect-and-disconnect wiring. The 2.5mm pitch connectors friction-lock together for a secure, reliable connection that's easy to separate when needed.
Each cable is 20cm long with 26 AWG stranded wire, capable of handling a couple of amps of current. The 2.5mm pitch is close enough to standard 0.1" (2.54mm) spacing to be compatible with most perfboard layouts.
Key Features
- Matching Pair – One plug and one socket cable that connect together
- JST XH Compatible – 2.5mm pitch, works with standard JST XH connectors
- 26 AWG Stranded Wire – Flexible and capable of carrying moderate current
- 20cm Length – Each cable is approximately 20cm including connectors
- Friction Lock – Secure connection that's easy to disconnect
Ideal For
- Detachable power and signal connections
- Battery wiring with easy disconnection
- Prototyping projects needing plug-in connectors
- Pairing with JST XH PCB-mount headers
Package Contents
- 1× 2-pin inline plug cable (20cm)
- 1× 2-pin inline socket cable (20cm)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
