## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-5658:1` (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-5658:1.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)

Pololu have various cables that work with the 2mm-pitch JST PH-style connector on this breakout board, available in double-sided or single-sided versions of varying lengths. The double-sided versions have twisted wires and female JST PH-type connectors on both ends, and single-sided versions have a female connector on one end [female crimp pins for 0.1" housings](https://core-electronics.com.au/female-crimp-pins-for-0-1-housings-100-pack.html) on the other:

This board also includes a smaller (1mm-pitch), 6-pin, top-entry JST SH-style connector in parallel with the PH-style connector, offering an additional connection option for your project. The inclusion of both connectors also enables the board to be used as a PH-to-SH adapter. The following cables are compatible with the JST SH-style connector:

The larger, 2mm-pitch JST PH-style connectors are rated for up to 2 A per pin and are compatible with Pololu's [female JST PH-style cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/356/jst-ph-style-cables). The smaller, 1mm-pitch JST SH-style connectors are rated for up to 1 A per pin and are compatible with Pololu's [female JST SH-style cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/346/jst-sh-style-cables). The boards can serve as breakouts for either connector, or they can serve as JST PH to SH adapters if both are used at the same time. (**Note:** Pololu also have smaller breakout boards [**with just the JST SH-style connector**](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/353/jst-sh-style-connector-boards) for applications where PH connectivity is not required.)
