Title: The technical name of a servo connector?
Post by: Amorgos on Thursday,July 17, 2014, 20:51:38
I';m trying to find a servo style connector, but with 8 connectors instead of 3. I';m looking for both male and female.

Not sure what I';m trying to find exists or even what to search for!

Anyone know?

I *believe* they are just called crimp connectors, with a spacing of 2.54mm between pin holes.

I';ve have a look for UK results in a mo, but hopefully this is a start for you

I bought some four and six pin jobbies a while back, think I just searched for headers (as they';re popular for arduino boards). The headers can be unisex - it';s the crimps that determines the sex. It just means the male part sticks out proud  :whistling:
