Hilitchi 560Pcs 2.54mm 2/3/4/5 Pin Housing and Male/Female Pin Head Connector Adapter Plug Set Perfectly Compatible with JST-XHP

I found this to work just fine for my purposes: replacing the balance connector on a 3S and 4S LIPO battery. Unfortunately, these are easily chopped off by a propeller if you forget to tuck them away from danger when flying a multirotor. It took me a few tries to get the crimp right, and I lost several on the floor while trying to break them off the bar. There are only 200 female connectors, and 20 of each type of header (3-5pin). Keep that in mind when purchasing this kit. If you just need them for the occasional repair, I think they are a good buy. Since I need both the 4 and 5 pin connectors, this was more cost effective than buying them separate. I used the Engineer PA-09 crimpers with these and it works very well.

I've had this box for a few years and getting ready to add another as I'm low on some of the components. This kit taught me how to crimp cables properly. Done right, they easily fit, and "just work". Particular for small prototype boards, they're cheap, fits the 2.54mm spacings on a PCB/bread-board etc.The only "issue" is that if you've got your soldering iron set a bit too high, it may melt the white plastic and you've lost your plug.Note that once you mate the male and female, they lock pretty tight and it will take some effort to separate them. Don't yank the cable or there's a good chance you'll leave the connector behind with just a cable in hand.

These are exactly as described, come well packages and appear to be good quality. My issue is personal and not something the supplier can control. At seventy years old I find it very difficult to work with the small pins. Also, out of three different crimpers, none of the were correct for these. I will definitely run out of the metal terminals before I run out of bodies. My average so far has been three mistakes to one good termination. Again, this is no fault of the product, just me the user.

EDIT: I remeasured the pin to pin pitch more precisely, it is 2.50, not 2.54. The below has been changed.I wasn't sure if these would be 2.54mm or 2.50mm, they are 2.50 mm pin to pin. There is a lot of confusion on these JST connectors. There is only one official JST that has a pin to pin pitch of 2.54mm and it's not this type. The difference between 2.54mm and 2.50mm only starts to matter when there are a lot of pins in the connector as the difference adds up. A circuit board with a 2.50mm pin to pin footprint would have a problem with one of these at 2.54 pitch at higher pin counts. The Wikipedia page has a list of all the JST connectors.

i finally needed to break down and buy a set of JST connectors. i also wanted a kit that had both mail and female parts. this is a great kit. i have ordered parts from this company before, and i really like their stuff.

I got these to use on my TEVO Tarantula 3D printer. It has an MKS Base 1.2 controller board, and these are the types of connectors on that board. I really only needed a single, 3 pin male connector, but I figured I might as well get the kit in case something breaks later on or I need to do any further modifications.These pins and connectors are high quality and easy to assemble. I only have some cheap-o crimpers, but these still crimp very easily. There is a huge variety of connectors in this kit, so you're pretty much covered no matter what project you're working on. I'm totally happy with this set and I would absolutely recommend this if these are the type of connectors you need for your project.

First off I'd like to mention the crimping tool I used that will work With the connectors. It was the Dayree SN-28B. Overall finding this crimping tool was the key to using these connectors that I need it for a control board for my 3D printer. Once that was solved the installation of the wiring into the connectors was very easy and only became quicker with time.I would definitely recommend that you buy the crimping tool otherwise don't even bother using this type of connector.

The connectors work fine, and it's a fairly decent set if you need both the cable-mounted plugs and the board-mounted receptacles. But... be aware... the male pins have no practical value of any kind. The plugs only have any use in the world for the female pins (just throw the female ones away). Also, 200 pins isn't nearly enough for the 80 plugs you get.(20) 2-wide require 40 pins(20) 3-wide require 60 pins(20) 4-wide require 80 pins(20) 5-wide require 100 pins.That's 280 pins. You only get 200. In addition, although you'll ruin your share of pins, you'll never ruin one of those plugs. So... your supply of plugs will slowly dwindle but your supply of pins will dwindle rapidly and when you're forced to order more to get more pins, you'll still have a bunch of empty, unused connectors left.On the other hand. that's a lot of connectors for ten bucks.
