Customer #620334 on GPS-00579 - JST SH Vertical 6-Pin Connector - SMD

2015-02-03T06:58:06-07:00

I would like to know what are the 2 extra pads use for?

Are they connected to ground or they are just there to add solidity to the connector when on the PCB?

I haven’t received it yet and I wanna send my gerbers before the Thursday.

Can someone tell me if they are connected to something or if they are supposed to be grounding (or something else)?

Thanks

It is just the female version, as shown.If you search our site for JST SH you can find the mating cables and connectors.

Please, clarify me if you provide the male and female connector or just one of both?

The breakout board is now linked below

While it’s not a break out board per se, there is an Arduino GPS shield that features this connector:

That may not be quite what you’re looking for but I thought I’d at least suggest it. :)

I agree with Egon, a simple pin header breakout would be appreciated

Do you have any breakout board for this connector, or would you simply solder cables to it? Those pins look pretty small…
