First post, long time sensorsponsor, hello
So I jumped the gun a little and ordered a SPS30 (air particulate) meter, with the intent of looking at the finer dust.
Having it in my hands however, I realize I do not have the required connector, and it’s proving to be surprisingly hard to find in Europe.
The connector needed is a JST ZHR-5 male (5 pin). I can find the connector itself in bulk packaging, but I obviously don’t have the crimp tool so I’d prefer an assembly with cables.
The usual electronics suppliers haven’t turned up anything, ebay neither. Adafruit has one including reasonable superslow shipping, but that comes from the USA meaning customs charges.
The closest I have found is arrow.com, where the product is very cheap and shipped from the Netherlands. However, shipping starts at €50 for a 10-cent part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated… my current setup with cut-open breadboard connectors is “not great”, to put it lightly!
Can I just push those together without special tools? I thought I needed a crimper for that as well?
Edit: SOS has a minimum order of €50… I’m thinking of going with farnel and botching the crimping myself (they don’t seme to have pre-crimped leads)
I live in Belgium, that’s indeed in Europe. I’d be more than happy to cover the expenses! Not sure if we can send private messages, you can reach me via email on my username at v5 dot be.
@Mogwaika Thanks, but why is the link you posted through “letyshops.com” if you don’t mind me asking? It redirects me to a link deep in “admitad.com” which is unavailable to me.
Do you make money of this link? Not sure if that is in the spirit of this forum.
I’ve got exactly the same problem, I need this cable quickly because it didn’t come with my sps30. I will order from ali soon, but is there someone here that can help me out now?
