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-4770:1.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 is a breakout board for a 6-pin male JST SH-type connector that provides access to each pin on a row of 0.1"-pitch through holes, making it compatible with standard [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). The through-holes work with standard [0.1" (2.54 mm) male headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/headers.html) and [0.1" female headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-female-header-1x5-pin-straight.html), which are available separately. | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10972_9833abac05.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10972_22234126b10.jpg) \| \|---\| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10960_23409073b6a.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10960_240420a7308.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| | |---| This board can be used with Pololu's Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoder [with top-entry connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/magnetic-encoder-pair-kit-with-top-entry-connector-for-micro-metal-gearmotors-12-cpr-2-7-18v.html) or [with side-entry connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/magnetic-encoder-pair-kit-with-side-entry-connector-for-micro-metal-gearmotors-12-cpr-2-7-18v.html), along with a female-female JST SH-style cable (available in [10 cm](https://core-electronics.com.au/6-pin-female-female-jst-sh-style-cable-10cm.html), [16 cm](https://core-electronics.com.au/6-pin-female-female-jst-sh-style-cable-16cm.html), [25 cm](https://core-electronics.com.au/6-pin-female-female-jst-sh-style-cable-25cm.html), [40 cm](https://core-electronics.com.au/6-pin-female-female-jst-sh-style-cable-40cm.html), and [63 cm](https://core-electronics.com.au/6-pin-female-female-jst-sh-style-cable-63cm.html) lengths). When used this way, the breakout provides convenient access to the motor and encoder pins on a breadboard, and the pins are labeled on the board’s bottom silkscreen with this application in mind. | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10971_2520013b10f.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10971_658309b0749.jpg) \| \|---\| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10989_191240d5aca.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J10989_24669946d93.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| | |---| Alternatively, this board can serve as a general-purpose breakout for other applications; for example, a pair of connector breakouts with a female-female cable could be used as a removable general-purpose interconnect between different parts of a modular system. **Details for item #4770** This item is a single **individually-packaged** board with a **top-entry connector** that is fully tested.
