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 Resources * Dimension Diagram * 3D Model * Drill Guide https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2024-04-10 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2024-11-29 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2024-11-30 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2025-02-13 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2025-04-09 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2025-08-05 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2025-11-28 https://elecena.pl/product/25692051/breakout-for-6-pin-jst-sh-style-connector-top-entry 2025-11-29
