Micron Radio Control : JST-ZH Connectors and Leads

Site Map | Site Updates & News | Contact Us

The Micron telephone line will close for the Christmas / New Year break at 4pm on Tuesday 20th December. We will continue to process and dispatch orders over the holiday, but the turn-round time will be longer than usual. We wish all of our customers a happy christmas and a successful 2012.

Micron R/C is now focussing on micro and indoor models. The web site pages will soon change to reflect this and make it easier to compare kits and R/C components. We are having a sale of all products which do not fit within the new product range and these are available, while stocks last, at discounted prices.

JST-ZH Connectors and Leads

The JST-ZH connector is used on many micro size receivers, servos and speed controllers. Although some manufacturers did use incompatible pin assignment, there is now a high degree of agreement on the layout signal | negative | positive. The physical design of the connector shell prevents insertion into a socket the wrong way round so mitigating the strange choice of negative in the centre.

Leads using this connector should be used with care: wires tend to be thin and the small grip area of the crimp will result in failure of the joint if excessive force is used to remove a connector. DO NOT tug on the wires to remove a plug, use tweezers to lever the connector shell out of the socket.
