JST-XHP JST Connector Kit with 2.54mm Female Pin Header The one side looks the same but the other has pins to connect to a PCB. I need ones that enables a crimped cable to be inserted on the male and female parts. ![HPNaZmm](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/e/ea3015f3d87a9216aeb0bfe7f7d4ae4cfe5017d3.jpeg) Can anyone please tell me what this is called? I’ve spent ages searching and everything I have looked at has those pins, even though clearly from the photo it is possible to get these types of connectors. ---

> [@TheJay](#): > > JST-XHP What pitch are they? Are you sure of XHP? Not all series make male pin free hanging connectors. I usually use a gender changer made from two “through hole” sockets soldered together pin to pin. ---

Hello Inwo, thanks for your reply. I don’t know exactly what they are, I need more of the same as pictured without them being mounted on cable already and with crimps connectors ready to attach to cable of the same size. ---

A lot of them look the same. Can you measure the pitch? Looks smaller than 2.54mm. 1mm, 1.25, 1.5, 2 are common. PH is 2mm I believe. What is it used on, or is it a new project? ---

Thanks for your reply, it’s for a cotton angel eye car ring light cable extension. The cable is really short and I want it to be black too (not going to be installed in car and cables on show). I measured the female 4 pin connector and it is 6.75mm wide. I have digital calipers but no way to measure distance between pins. From the photos shared, it looks like micro JST/JST. ---

I bought these thinking they were the right size but the connectors are massive: 10sets XH2.54 2.54mm Wire Cable Connector XH Plug Male & Female JST Aerial Docking for Battery Charging Cable DIY from [https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000144108861.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.4000144108861&aff\_trace\_key=cf2b0933894a4e97824ea97d2c9251ac-1604076137433-00748-UneMJZVf&aff\_platform=msite&m\_page\_id=3089amp-AsZ3jnnTOTVvIYW7\_Tt8Gg1604779654394&browser\_id=d78cf5663ad34c78896e0620db9a2cdd&is\_c=N](https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000144108861.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.4000144108861&aff_trace_key=cf2b0933894a4e97824ea97d2c9251ac-1604076137433-00748-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=3089amp-AsZ3jnnTOTVvIYW7_Tt8Gg1604779654394&browser_id=d78cf5663ad34c78896e0620db9a2cdd&is_c=N) What size should it be?
