Is the Seeed Studio Grove connector compatible with the JST PH connector?




Seeed Studio has created a very nice portfolio of devices centered around their grove connector. Recently, we started experimenting with the grove system ourselves as a nice way to quickly add sensors to CANZERO nodes in a NoCAN IoT network. Arduino even provides a nice MKR connector carrier board that fits perfectly well on our CANZERO nodes:Get more news about cjt connector,you can vist our website!

From afar, the Grove connectors look like the ubiquitous 4-pin JST PH connectors you can find everywhere, including cheap clones on eBay or Aliexpress. Despite being open-source, the Seeed Studio Grove system employs semi-proprietary connectors that can basically only be sourced through Seeed Studio and their resellers. Using JST PH would be a nice alternative. Unfortunately, a closeup look shows that apart from a similar 2mm pitch, they are two different incompatible connectors.

Sadly, you cannot plug a grove socket into a JST PH header, nor can you plug a JST socket into a Grove header. The through-hole footprints of the headers are compatible, so if you design a board with a Grove connector footprint, you can swap a JST PH connector when you populate the board. This footprint compatibility does not apply to the SMD version of these connectors.

This type of device connects a wire to a printed circuit board (PCB) for connection between circuits. Our line to board connectors focus on flexibility and reliability, and are suitable for small-size plug-in and safe termination. The products are equipped with friction locking mechanism or full locking mechanism. With cjtconn line to board connector, you can easily find the connector that meets your application requirements.

CJT Connectors strongly support for customers in the manufacturing aspects of product development through a global network, and improve the market competitiveness of customers’ products in global markets.The pitch ranges from 0.5MM to 21.20MM . Current peaked at 50A and Voltage up to 3kv which meet all aspects of requirements for customers .
