The Complete Guide to Wire-to-Board Connectors: JST, Molex, and TE Compared

Wire-to-board connectors are the backbone of electronics assembly. JST, Molex, and TE Connectivity each offer dozens of series — here’s how to navigate the most popular ones.

JST Connectors

  • JST XH (2.50mm): The most common connector in consumer electronics — battery connections, sensors, small motors
  • JST PH (2.00mm): Popular in RC hobby, Arduino shields, compact PCB connections
  • JST SH (1.00mm): Ultra-compact, common in cameras and wearables

Molex Connectors

  • Molex Mini-Fit Jr. (4.20mm): High-current power connectors, up to 9A per circuit
  • Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 (3.00mm): Medium power, 5A per circuit
  • Molex PicoBlade (1.25mm): Signal-level, wire-to-board

TE Connectivity

  • TE MATE-N-LOK: Universal power connector system, 600V rating
  • TE AMPMODU: Board-to-board and wire-to-board, 2.54mm pitch
  • TE FASTON: Quick-disconnect terminals for power applications
