Connecting female JST to power?

Post by angry_candy »

Hi All, I have a very basic question -- what's the easiest way to connect a female JST to a portable power source (like a 3-AA battery pack)? LED emitters like https://www.adafruit.com/product/4168 have a female connector, just like the battery pack. I didn't see a female-to-male 2-pin connector (other than the 1 meter Elwire one, which is too long). Do I just get some male & female heads & wire them together?

Adafruit does not stock a male <--> male JST 2-pin adapter, but that would be the easiest route.

I'd use the Right Angle Breakout which gives you a male JST and you can solder leads off it to another male connector. This would give you the equivalent of a male/male adapter cable.
