Hi everyone, I am looking for a (ideally through hole) right angle board-to-board connector system, that consists of a male and female component that connects one PCB to another - with just two pins or contacts (I am just connecting ground and positive from one PCB to the next).

Something like a JST would be perfect however the male component would need to be PCB mounted too and as I understand it, this doesn’t exist as the male component needs wires crimped into it.

I can find plenty for the male side - eg. simple right angle mounted pins. However the female side is proving tricky, all I can find is something like this however it always comes out extremely expensive for what it is ($.50 per piece).

Any assistance on board to board connector types and options would be very much appreciated!

Thank you!

 

hi aw,
Don't know your location, I use these low cost types on PCB2PCB connections.

Thank you Eric, this is what I am looking for except I need something with one row and only two positions!

 

hi.
Look thru the other connector types on that link.
You can easily cut the connectors to suit the actual pins you require.
Also look at the very long pin types.
Avoid the 'budget' versions the contact finish is poor.

EDIT:
Pull out any unwanted pins from the plastic body.

Great, thanks you - this is a really affordable site - and yes, I could always bend the pins if they are long. I've also just found this connector which I believe is a surface mount JST female component, which I didn't realise existed. Will keep searching!

Cheers

 

Something like: http://www.jst.fr/en/product/leb-btb_134?

They appear to be JST as well.

Whenever possible I use female/male headers.

Samtec has many board-to-board connection options:
