Breakout for 6-pin JST SH-Style Connector - Top Entry
This is a breakout board for a 6-pin male JST SH-type connector that provides access to each pin on a row of 0.1″-pitch through holes, making it compatible with standard solderless breadboards. The through-holes work with standard 0.1″ (2.54 mm) male headers and 0.1″ female headers, which are available separately.
This version features a top-entry connector, and is individually packaged and fully tested.
This board can be used with the Pololu Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders with top-entry connector or with side-entry connector, along with a female-female JST SH-style cable. When used this way, the breakout provides convenient access to the motor and encoder pins on a breadboard, and the pins are labelled on the board’s bottom silkscreen with this application in mind.
Alternatively, this board can serve as a general-purpose breakout for other applications; for example, a pair of connector breakouts with a female-female cable could be used as a removable general-purpose interconnect between different parts of a modular system.
These breakouts should also work well with Pimoroni JST-SH encoders and related boards such as the Motor 2040.
We also stock a side-entry version.
Use with Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders
When used with our encoders and JST SH-style cables, the wire colour scheme is as follows:
| Colour | Function |
| Red | motor power (connects to one motor terminal) |
| Black | motor power (connects to the other motor terminal) |
| Blue | encoder Vcc |
| Yellow | encoder A output |
| White | encoder B output |
| Green | encoder GND |
Specifications
| Size | 0.6″ × 0.35″ × 0.21″ |
| Weight | 0.5 g |
| Connector | top-entry, 6-pin male, JST SH-type |
