JST-SM 6‑Pin Cable Set — Male & Female Connectors

Reliable, compact, and easy to integrate, this JST‑SM 6‑pin cable set pairs a male plug with a female receptacle for quick, secure wire-to-wire connections. Ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller projects, these connectors are widely used across electronics components, LED lighting, and industrial modules where space-saving, polarized connections are essential.

✨ Key Features

• 2.5 mm pitch for compact, space-efficient wiring in embedded designs.
• Polarized, keyed housing prevents reverse insertion and ensures correct mating.
• Locking latch provides a secure connection resistant to vibration and accidental unplugging.
• Widely adopted in LED strips, DIY electronics, and modules for quick disconnects.
• Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontroller platforms.

📐 Technical Specifications

• Series: JST‑SM (wire‑to‑wire)
• Contacts: 6 pins (male + female)
• Pitch: 2.5 mm
• Mechanical features: Polarized, keyed, with locking latch
• Typical use: Low‑voltage DC interconnects in electronics devices and industrial equipment
  Note: Electrical ratings (current/voltage) depend on wire gauge, contact quality, and application. Refer to the official JST SM series datasheet for precise limits and verify against your system voltage and load.

🧰 Applications

• Addressable and RGB LED strips (e.g., WS2812/Neopixel), light bars, and accent lighting
• Small DC fans, pumps, and motors in DIY and industrial projects
• Quick‑disconnect harnesses for Arduino/Raspberry Pi prototyping and electronics modules
• RC models, drones, 3D printers, and compact enclosures requiring secure, polarized connectors

🔧 Integration Tips

• Ensure correct polarity before power-up; the polarized design helps prevent mis‑mating.
• The 2.5 mm pitch is not the same as 2.54 mm (0.1 in); direct breadboard use is not recommended—use an adapter or jumper leads.
• Match wire gauge and connector quality to your current needs; always derate for safety.
