- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-2718:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

These shrouded, male connectors work with female JST XH-style connectors, like those on the [2-pin female XH-style cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-pin-female-jst-xh-style-cable-15cm.html). The 2.5 mm pin spacing is close to the standard 0.1" grid spacing on many perfboards, so these units can readily be substituted for basic [0.1" male headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html), and they work with Pololu's female [premium jumper wires](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/prototyping-wire.html) and [crimp connector housings](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/crimp-connector-housings.html).

**Details for item #2718**
