Expanded Laser Engraving Area

Post by tcordova »

I have a small Ortur Laser engraver. I want to expand the engraving from 6" square to 12" square(?) engraving area.
I purchased what I thought was the correct 4 pin connector and socket, JST PH 2.0mm set. Turns out this is not the connector/ socket type. Can anyone tell me what I have?

Thank you

You could hold the JST-PH part you purchased up against the laser connector for reference.

If you have calipers measure the part outside diameter and pin spacing on center for the headers.

Adafruit sells a variety of JST SH pins connectors (which are smaller than PH), but I'm not sure that SH is what you need.

Take a look at all the options here to help determine what you have:
