What is 2.54 mm pitch connector?

What does pitch mean in connectors?

Pitch in connectors, is the distance between the centers of two neighboring pins or contacts in the same row. Size A in the following pictures is the pitch of the connector.

Pitch is an important attribute of connectors. 2.54 mm pitch means the distance between the centers of two neighboring pins or contacts in the same row is 2.54 mm.

Common connector pitches are 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.54 mm, and 3.0 mm.

How do you measure pitch on JST connectors?&#;

You can measure the pitch of connectors with a vernier caliper.

It&#;s not easy for you to measure the distance between the centers of two neighboring circuits in the same row, as you can&#;t tell if you are placing the jaws on the vernier caliper in the centers. But we don&#;t necessarily measure the centers to get the pitch of a connector.

Let&#;s see how!

Measure the pitch of a connector housing.

For a connector housing, you can measure the edges on the same side of the two holes instead. For instance, measure &#;B&#; instead of &#;A&#; in the following picture. B = A, so B is the pitch of the connector housing.

Or a connector housing with multiple circuits, you can measure the distance of the two farthest circuits (size &#;C&#; in the following picture), and divide it by (number of circuits &#; 1). For example, the following is a 6-circuits connector housing. You can divide C by 5, the result is the pitch of the connector housing.

Measure the pitch of a connector header.

For a connector header, you can measure the outer size of two neighboring contacts, and then deduct the width of the contact. For example the connector header on the following picture, the pitch is calculated as B deduct W (pitch = B &#; W).

If the connector is small and with multiple circuits, you can measure the distance of the number of contacts, deduct the width of the contact, and then divide it by [number of contacts &#; 1].

For example, the pitch of the connector header in the following picture is (C-W)/4.

What is the Pitch on a Connector?

The pitch of a connector is the distance measured from the center of one pin to the center of the next pin. It is very important to know the pitch of a connector because otherwise it will not be compatible with the cable or wire you are trying to connect. It can be confusing to match a connector with the other half because nomenclature and standards get mixed and matched.

Here are a couple of the most common pitches in metric and standard units:

• 0.1 inches = 2.54mm (standard for breadboards)
• 0.05 inches = 1.27mm

There are many other pitches out there that are larger and smaller:

• 1.20mm
• 1.25mm
• 1.50mm
• 6mm
• 10mm
• 0.3in
• 0.4in

Quadrangle Pitch Connector Support

Quadrangle strives to support all popular connectors seen on various components and peripherals throughout industry. We are always adding new connectors and crimps/terminals. In some cases we can support new connectors on existing tooling and equipment. In order to confirm this, we may need to purchase sample crimp in REEL FORM (for semi-automated equipment) to test them. Quadrangle will gladly do this, however, if you would like to Expedite This Process &#; customers are always welcome to inquire with Quadrangle Engineers first (with a spec sheet), and upon Engineer confirming, the customer can supply the crimps to us for testing (REEL FORM ONLY). Customer Supplied Material is often the more efficient and quicker way to confirm if we can support the new connector series for your upcoming cable needs.
