JST Pin Layout Guide

Last Updated: June 24th, 2022

 

If you are making your own cable, or you would like to use an existing cable with a new mouse, you need to make sure the pins are in the correct order in the JST housing. Almost every mouse uses a different configuration, even mice from the same brand. If you don't use the correct pin order, you can potentially destroy your device.

But don't worry! It's easy to rearrange the pins. As long as the JST connector is the same size, you just need to rearrange the pins themselves to the correct order, and the cable should work for the new device.

To rearrange the pins, you need to slightly lift the tabs on the JST connector to release the crimp pin locking mechanism, and gently pull the wire out of the connector. Be extra careful not to bend the tabs too far, because they can bend too far and break off. Once you have the wires out, place them in the correct order and push the tabs back into place. Make sure to place the wires back into the housing in the correct orientation to ensure it locks itself in the housing.

If your JST connector is a different size than the previous cable, the cable is not compatible. You can't just change the housing - you need to change the housing as well as the crimping pins. 

 

WARNING - Be extremely cautious when changing the pinout of your cable. If you use the wrong pinout, you could break your entire device. Make sure that the +5V (red) cable absolutely goes to the correct place.

Your POV:

Place pins from left to right with the connector facing you like this.
