## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1863:1` (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/ADA1863:1.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)

## Description

This switched JST connector is the best way to quickly prototype with Adafruit's LiPoly batteries. Adafruit paired a genuine JST connector with a slide switch that can do up to 600mA. Both are soldered onto a breadboard-friendly breakout. There's two ground pins, one 'switched' power pin, and one pin that is always on. This is compatible with the "JST PH 2-pin" connectors are used in Adafruit's battery packs.. Mates perfectly with all Adafruit's 1-cell [LiPoly](https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=lipoly) and [LiIon batteries](https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=liion) as well as Adafruit's [6V coin cell holder](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-x-2032-coin-cell-battery-holder-6v-output-with-on-off-switch.html) and [3xAAA battery pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/3-x-aaa-battery-holder-with-on-off-switch-and-2-pin-jst.html). [We also have simple JST pigtails that mate with this connector.](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-2-pin-cable.html)
