Looking for JST Connectors for LiPo batteries

I can't seem to find a pack of pre-made male/female JST connectors for LiPo batteries used with Ganglion and Cyton. These are necessary to connect a LiPo battery to a charger, and then to an OpenBCI board.

Can anyone provide a link to buy the proper size JST connectors in the USA?

    Richard, they are available on Adafruit, both male and female.


    Note the terms 'male' and 'female' on these connectors can be a bit confusing. As the shell has one sense, and the pins / sockets another. Adafruit refers to them in the pin sense. In this nested connector concept, the JSTs are similar to the touchproof connectors used with EEG ECG electrodes. In those cases you usually refer in the shell sense.

    The 'female' JSTs are WIDELY available, just look on Amazon for packages of 10, 50, etc. The unique find that Adafruit has done, is to locate this 'male' version.

    Cheers,

    William

    The problem I had was getting the right size for OpenBCI boards from Amazon.

    Thanks William! This also looks neat https://www.adafruit.com/product/3064, extension + switch.

    To get the "right size", Adafruit only sells genuine JST parts from Japan.

    Yeah, I've seen that extension. Lady Ada (Limor), is an ACE engineer.
