Full machine-readable index: https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt # 2-Pin Female JST XH-Style Cable (15cm) **Type:** Product page · **SKU:** POLOLU-1164 · **Brand:** [Pololu](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/pololu-australia) **Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/2-pin-female-jst-xh-style-cable-15cm.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-pin-female-jst-xh-style-cable-15cm.html.md)) This 6" (15cm) cable has two 26AWG conductors with a 2.5mm-pitch 2-pin female JST XH-style connector. The spacing is very close to 0.1", which means this connector will work with 0.1" male header pins and standard perfboards and solderless breadboards. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise. ## Pricing - **Price:** $3.30 (inc GST) — $3.00 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $2.88 (exc GST) · 25+ $2.79 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 6 today, and up to 700 more in 4–7 days. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1164:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1164:1.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. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description This 6" (15cm) cable has two 26AWG stranded conductors with a 2.5mm-pitch 2-pin female JST XH-style connector. The spacing is very close to 0.1", which means this connector will work with [0.1" male header pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html) and standard perfboards and [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). The other ends of the wires are unterminated and are stripped to expose approximately 5 mm of tinned copper; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise. | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2418_11114906ca9.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2418_161067b1b95.jpg) \| \|---\| \| 2-Pin female JST XH-style connector. \| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2414_950992c9df.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2414_83937671ca1.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| \| Unterminated end of 2-Pin female JST XH-style cable (15cm). \| | |---| These disconnectable crimp-style female connectors snap together securely with the three types of male JST XH-style connectors Pololu carry: [straight](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-5-mm-jst-xh-style-shrouded-male-connector-2-pin-straight-4-pack.html), [right angle](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-5-mm-jst-xh-style-shrouded-male-connector-2-pin-right-angle-4-pack.html), and [right angle extended](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-5-mm-jst-xh-style-shrouded-male-connector-2-pin-right-angle-extended-4-pack.html). | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J975_143193ef5aa.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J975_154829aebca.jpg) | |---| | 2.5 mm XH-style shrouded male connector: 2-pin, straight. | For a 2-pin cable with a smaller connector (2mm pitch), see Pololu's [female JST PH-style cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-pin-female-jst-ph-style-cable-14cm.html).
