I need help finding a connector part number

SteveMann

I need help finding a manufacturer's part number for these connectors. I am working on a project that would go between the joystick (Gimbal Joystick with Adapter (Parallax#27808).
and the controller PCB. Parallax will sell me the adapter alone, but I would like to identify the white connector in the photo. I measured with a digital micrometer as best I could and it appears that the pin pitch is 1.27mm. I couldn't get the calipers inside the male connector to measure the pin dimensions, but they are a flat pin, not round.

In a perfect world, I would find a source for both the cable assembly with the female connector and the male connector on the adapter PCB.

Any tips would be appreciated.

I am sure if you ask them they will have the PCB side also. If not, try Digi-Key. These are JST connectors.

Thanks, unfortunately the XH connectors have too large a pitch. But I am quite certain they are from JST.

I have one very similar on a GPS unit but the pitch is smaller than on the joystick. I'm not convinced they're JST connectors. Isn't JST a specific brand. Couldn't these be Molex or some other connector brand?

I think the pitch is 1.5mm myself.

According to the product page and documentation, the connector is 1.5mm pitch (which agrees with my measurements).

This is my best guess.

Connector housing DigiKey 455-1129-ND

Mating board connector DigiKey 455-1610-1-ND

You'll also need the crimp on sockets.

And they these are JST but there are a lot of similar connectors by other brands.

I really appreciate the help. The board connector certainly looks right, but the pitch doesn't match my measurements. Here's some photos I took this afternoon:

(The distance from pin 1 and pin 6 is 6.50 mm, making a pitch of 1.3 mm)

(This is the overall width of the connector)

(Depth)

(Thickness)

(This is the board where the connector goes.)

Am I measuring the pitch wrong?

Why not consider just removing what's on the end of the wires and fitting something that works well with your project and is easier to source?

You can keep what you cut off along with a few inches of wire and have it plug in to whatever you insert between the joystick and the existing plug or you could switch to whatever your controller board requires..

I'm going to guess the connector you're measuring isn't from the Gimbal Joystick and Adapter Parallax sells.

I assume the connector you're measuring looks like the one used on the joystick sold by Parallax but the joystick you have is not product 27808. Correct?

Found it - many thanks for all the help.
It turns out that the connectors are Molex Picoblade:

If you need assistance with the crimps, I have the crimp tool. I can't loan it to you, but can make up wires for you no charge, just let me know.
