Compatible Mating Connectors

These male headers are designed to mate with standard JST XH series female housings and crimp terminals (2.54mm pitch), commonly used for battery leads, signal wiring, and power connections.

Straight vs Right Angle

Straight (vertical) connectors are ideal when wires exit upward from the PCB and vertical space is available. For designs with limited height or where cables should run parallel to the board, a right-angle connector is recommended.
