Need some help with finding this connector.

Former Member

Hello all,

 

New to the forums. I was wondering if I could get some input as to what these connectors are called and where I would find some. As you can see, they are small. Please help me.

    Hi Randy,

     

    What is the pitch (distance between the pins) for this connector?

    Is it 1mm, or 1.25mm, or 1.5mm, or 2mm? (These are some possible widths for connectors).

    To determine it accurately, you could use a ruler from the first to the sixth pin, and then divide by 5.

     

    Also, at these sizes, the connectors are very difficult to crimp without the right tool (which costs $$$)

    and soldering is tricky too.

    Hi Shabaz,

     

    Thank you for such a quick response. The 6 pin is 4.26mm(i used a caliper the best I could) between the 1 and 6 pin. The 4 pin is 2.73mm between 1 and 4. Does this help

    Hi Randy,

     

    That would make it 0.7mm pitch for the 6-pin connector, and 0.9mm pitch for a 4-way connector.

    However, these values are very unusual for such connectors.

    Could you use a normal mm graduation ruler (not calipers) in case there is some offset on the calipers?

     

    Two typical connector manufacturers are JST and Molex, their website product pages can be examined for

    connectors, but I would be surprised if 0.7mm and 0.9mm pitches were common for such wire-ended

    connectors. Usually it is 1mm or higher (the popular values I mentioned earlier) for wire terminated connectors.

    However, these values are very unusual for such connectors.

    The measurement is likely to be outside of Pin1 to outside of pin 6/4

     

    It really needs to be outside of Pin1 to inside of Pin6, which will get you the centre to centre distance.

     

    There are board to board style connectors in 0.4mm pitch, and these tend to look like they connect to the board in a laptop or similar.

    Any chance you know what they came from originally.??
