What are XH2.54 connectors used for in LED lighting?

They are primarily used to create reliable, detachable connections between LED strip segments, or between an LED strip and a controller or power supply. Their locking feature makes them more secure than simple pin headers.

How do I choose the right number of pins?

Choose based on your LED strip type: 2-pin for single color, 3-pin for addressable (like WS2812B), 4-pin for RGB, 5-pin for RGBW, and 6-pin for RGBCCT strips.

Are these connectors waterproof?

No, these are standard electronic connectors and are not waterproof. They should only be used in dry, indoor environments.

What is the maximum current these wires can handle?

These connectors are typically rated for a maximum of 3 Amps. For LED strip runs drawing more than 3A, you should use a heavier gauge wire and a more appropriate high-current connector.

What is the difference between a 'pigtail' and a 'mating pair'?

A 'pigtail' is a single connector (male or female) with bare wire ends for soldering. A 'mating pair' includes both a male and a female connector, allowing you to create a complete, detachable connection.

Key Features

Versatile Pin Options (2-6 Pins)

Available in 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6-pin versions to match any type of LED strip, from single color to RGBCCT.

Secure Locking Mechanism

A positive locking tab on the housing prevents cables from vibrating or pulling loose, ensuring a stable connection.

Pre-Crimped with Pigtails

Ready to use out of the box with tinned wire ends, making soldering or connecting to terminals quick and easy.

Multiple Lengths & Configurations

Choose from 0.1m, 0.15m, and 0.2m lengths in single-ended (pigtail) or male-female mating pair configurations.

Reliable Connections for Demanding Projects

Industry Standard XH Connector: The 2.54mm pitch is one of the most common header standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PCBs, controllers, and electronic components.
Durable Housing: Made from robust nylon material, the connector housings are designed for repeated mating cycles without compromising connection integrity.
Color-Coded Wires: Multi-pin versions use standard color-coding (e.g., Red for V+, Black for GND) to simplify wiring and reduce the risk of installation errors.
Rated for 3A/250V: Capable of handling the power requirements for most low-voltage LED strip applications, providing a safe and reliable power path.

Application Scenarios

Single Color LED Strip Wiring Use the JST XH2.54mm 2-pin version to easily connect segments of single color white or monochrome LED strips, or to create a disconnect point between the strip and its power supply.

Addressable LED Strip Projects The JST XH2.54mm 3-pin connectors are perfect for addressable LED strips like WS2812B or SK6812, providing a secure link for Data, V+, and GND lines between strips or to a controller.

RGB LED Lighting Systems Employ the JST XH2.54mm 4-pin version for standard RGB LED strip extensions. Create custom-length jumpers to navigate corners or bridge gaps in your installation, ensuring a clean setup.

RGBW & RGBCCT Custom Connections For more advanced lighting, the JST XH2.54mm 5-pin and 6-pin connectors are ideal for RGBW, RGBWW, and RGBCCT LED strips, allowing you to reliably connect all color channels and power lines.

DIY Electronics & Prototyping Beyond LED lighting, these versatile connectors are excellent for general electronics, PCB-to-wire connections, internal wiring for appliances, and prototyping on breadboards.

⚠ Precautions

Always verify the pinout of your LED strip or controller before connecting to avoid damage from short circuits.
Do not exceed the maximum current rating of 3A. For high-power applications, use thicker gauge wire and appropriate connectors.
These connectors are not waterproof and are intended for use in dry, indoor locations only.
Ensure a firm connection. A loose or intermittent connection can generate heat and lead to failure.
