JST XH 2.54mm 5-Pin Single-Head Pre-Crimped Cable — 22AWG, 3A/250V
Five conductors unlock a distinct set of interface requirements that 4-pin cables can't cover: full-duplex UART with flow control (TX/RX/RTS/CTS/GND), 5-wire stepper motor connections (bipolar with center tap), RGB LED with separate power and ground rails, and multi-axis sensor modules with dedicated interrupt lines. This single-head pre-crimped cable delivers five factory-crimped JST XH terminals on one end — ready to seat into any standard XH 5-pin housing — with the other end bare for your preferred termination.
Factory machine crimping eliminates the variability of hand-crimped assemblies. Each of the five contacts is crimped to a defined pull-force specification, inspected, and shipped ready to use. In multi-conductor cables, a single failed crimp can bring down an entire interface — factory crimping reduces that risk to near zero.
22AWG stranded copper wire, rated 3A/250V, provides the current capacity and flexibility needed across the full range of 5-pin XH applications. Select from 8 lengths (10–80cm) and 8 wire colors to match your routing and color-coding requirements precisely.
