Need help with name of a connector/socket
« on: June 26, 2020, 03:50:43 pm »
Hello friends!

I need some help in knowing the name of this socket. I need to buy a socket that will connect to these pins on my
board, but I am having trouble finding this. Do you know the name of the connector I need ? On the photo the pins I mean
are just the ones on the white supports. You see there are a bunch of them going down.

Here is a photo of the pins. These are all power pins. Some 5V, some 12V and some grounds.
So I need this only for power connections. Thank you so much guys.

What is the pin spacing and the pin length?
By the looks of it, I would guess 2.54mm pin spacing. In that case, molex kk-254 would fit just fine.
Probably the most common connector type in hobby electronics.

As mentionned by bateau020 measure the pin pitch on the connector and have look on digikey by doing a parametric search with the pin pitch.

These are just standard pin headers so anything could fit really and the most common is 2.54mm pitch but do measure just to be sure.

This Molex one could probably work: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/molex/0022013067/WM2004-ND/26439

Or if you want more option here is the digikey parametric search for 6 positions 2.54 pitch housings: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/rectangular-connectors-housings/319?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&pv2172=i1&sf=1&FV=-8%7C319%2C88%7C249730%2C89%7C9726&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25

Those look more like some variant of 0.15" Molex. Other relevant dimension is the pin thickness, which is going to be somewhat larger than the 0.1" (2.54mm) that everybody loves.

OP: you probably need vernier calipers to measure this. Digital ones are cheap and readily available these days.
