This handy tool helps remove a standard 2-pin JST-PH connector with 2mm pitch, such as the female connector commonly found on single-cell LiPo batteries. It gives you something safer and easier to grip than the connector body itself, helping avoid sore fingertips, pinched wires from needle nose pliers, or cut wires from diagonal cutters.

To use it, slide the tool over the LiPo battery’s JST female connector with one hand, then hold the male connector with your other hand and pull the female connector away to disconnect the battery. It can slide on from the top or bottom, and includes a wire channel for the battery leads when removing the connector downwards against a table.

The tool includes a keychain hole so it can be kept with your other tools, or hung on a metal shelf with a small magnet. It is designed for removing connectors only, not inserting them, and works best where the JST male connector is on the edge of a board without nearby components obstructing access.

This part is 3D printed, so there may be slight imperfections from the printing process.

Specifications:

Dimensions: 35mm x 16mm x 9 mm (l x w x h)
Weight: 3.15g

A useful bench accessory for makers who regularly swap LiPo batteries between projects.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

2mm pitch: Pitch is the distance between the centres of neighbouring pins on a connector. A 2mm pitch header is smaller than the common 2.54mm breadboard spacing, so you need matching cables and headers rather than standard breadboard jumper leads.
LiPo: A LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is a rechargeable lithium battery widely used in portable projects because it is light and compact. LiPo cells need correct charging circuitry and careful handling to stay safe, so equipment that supports LiPo generally includes charging or protection hardware suited to that battery type.
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.
