jST GH1.25mm Connector Assorted Kit Horizontal & Vertical Surface Mount Sockets 440PCS with Locking Mechanism, 2-5 Pin

Specifications

• Connector Type: JST GH1.25mm pitch, crimp-style, disconnectable, dual mount style
• Mount Styles Included: Horizontal surface mount AND Vertical surface mount
• Kit Contents: 440 pieces total (2P-5P headers in both mount styles, matching female shells, crimp terminals)
• Pitch: 1.25mm
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C
• Housing Color: White/Cream
• Contact Material: Brass
• Locking Mechanism: Locking buckle  confirmed real feature via robu.in's equivalent WAFER-GH1.25-2PJK/4PJK parts
• Packaging: 15-compartment clear plastic storage box

Minimum hardware 

• GH1.25-specific crimping tool  same requirement as the 60PCS kit; mount style (horizontal vs vertical) doesn't change the crimping process itself, only the header's board orientation
• Fine-gauge wire (28-30 AWG typical)  same as the 60PCS kit
• Basic understanding of PCB footprints  since this kit includes two different header orientations, you'll need to know which style your target board's footprint actually calls for before selecting a header

Safety Warnings

• Crimp Tool Warning: Same GH1.25-specific tool requirement as the 60PCS kit  no tool from a different JST pitch will work correctly here
• Mount Style Warning: Horizontal and vertical headers are NOT interchangeable on a given PCB footprint always match the header orientation to your board's actual pad layout before soldering the header in place
• Flight-Critical Wiring Note: Same as the 60PCS kit  GPS and telemetry connections are often flight-critical; verify every crimped connection before final assembly

Accessories Included in the Box

• 2/3/4/5-Pin Horizontal Mount Male Headers
• 2/3/4/5-Pin Vertical Mount Male Headers
• Loose/strip crimp terminals
• 1× 15-Compartment Plastic Storage Box

Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the difference between horizontal and vertical mount headers in this kit?
  Horizontal headers lie flat against the PCB with the cable exiting parallel to the board, while vertical headers stand upright with the cable exiting perpendicular to the board  the two are not interchangeable on a given footprint.
• Can I use the female shells from this kit with the 60PCS GH1.25 kit's headers?
  Yes, since both kits use genuine GH1.25mm pitch parts, female shells and male headers of matching pin count are interchangeable across both kits.
• How do I know which mount style my flight controller needs?
  Check your board's silkscreen labeling or datasheet — the physical footprint (row of holes flat vs. angled) will indicate which orientation the header must be soldered in.
• Does this kit include locking mechanisms on both header styles?
  The locking buckle feature is confirmed on the female shells; verify the specific locking behavior of each header style against your physical kit, since locking mechanisms can vary between horizontal and vertical designs.
• What's the maximum current these terminals can safely carry?
  Rated at 1A, consistent with the JST GH1.25 series' confirmed specification, regardless of horizontal or vertical mount style.
  
• What's the voltage rating for this connector series?
  A specific voltage figure wasn't published by available manufacturer sources  treat this as a low-voltage signal/peripheral connector consistent with its 1A current rating.
  
• Is this suitable for power module connections, or just signal/data?
  Better suited to low-current peripherals like GPS and telemetry  verify your specific power module's current draw before using GH1.25 for power delivery.
• Does the crimping process differ between horizontal and vertical headers?
  No, the crimping process for the wire and terminal is identical — only the header's physical orientation on the PCB differs.
  
• Can I solder a vertical header where my board footprint calls for horizontal?
  No, the pin spacing and orientation are fixed to match a specific footprint  forcing the wrong style will not fit or will damage the header.
  
• How many of each pin count and mount style are included in this 440-piece kit?
  Exact breakdown by pin count and mount style wasn't itemized in the product description  recommend confirming exact quantities before publishing, similar to the note on the 60PCS kit.
• Why won't my vertical header fit where I expected a horizontal one to go?
  This confirms a mount-style mismatch  recheck your board's actual footprint requirement before attempting to force the wrong orientation.
  
• Why is my connection intermittent after crimping?
  Same root causes as the 60PCS kit a poor crimp is the most common cause, regardless of header mount style; retest with the correct tool and wire gauge.
  
• The locking buckle doesn't seem to engage on the female shell what's wrong?
  Confirm the male header is fully inserted before expecting the buckle to click  partial insertion can feel like a locking failure when it's actually an insertion issue.
