Description
The Qwiic Cable 200 mm with 1 mm JST Connector is a specialized 4-conductor interconnect designed to link Qwiic-enabled sensors, actuators, and development boards together quickly and securely. Measuring 200 mm (20 cm) in length, this compact cable features a 1 mm pitch 4-pin JST connector on both ends, allowing rapid, polarized, and latching plug-and-play connections without the need for soldering or breadboards.
Engineered for modular prototyping ecosystems, the cable utilizes standard color-coded wiring (Red for 3.3V power, Black for Ground, Blue for SDA, and Yellow for SCL) to prevent wiring errors. While specifically tailored for I2C communication within an enclosure or chassis, it can also be adapted for custom low-voltage signal routing in various electronics and robotics applications.

Key Features
- Polarized JST Connectors: Equipped with secure 1 mm pitch 4-pin JST connectors on both ends to prevent reverse-polarity insertion.
- Optimal 200 mm Reach: Provides an ideal 20 cm length for positioning Qwiic modules close together within complex mechanical enclosures and multi-tier assemblies.
- Standardized Color Coding: Color-coded conductors (Red, Black, Blue, Yellow) offer clear visual tracking for power, ground, and I2C signal lines.
- Daisy-Chain Capability: Fully compatible with Qwiic bus specifications, allowing multiple sensor boards to be linked in series.
- Flexible & Lightweight Build: Thin, highly flexible ribbon-style wiring minimizes mechanical strain on delicate peripheral connector ports.
Benefits
- Solder-Free Efficiency: Eliminates manual wire stripping, crimping, and soldering, enabling instant modular circuit assembly.
- Error-Proof Interfacing: Keyed JST connectors ensure correct pin alignment every time, protecting sensitive I2C hardware from damage.
- Optimized Prototyping Reach: Perfect for connecting adjacent sensors or displays located close to the main microcontroller board.
- Reusable Interconnect: Designed to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging cycles in active testing and development labs.
- Ecosystem Versatility: Fully compatible with SparkFun Qwiic, Adafruit I2C Stemma QT, and other standardized 1mm JST I2C peripheral modules.
Applications
- I2C Sensor Interfacing: Connecting environmental, motion, and optical sensors equipped with Qwiic/Stemma QT ports to a master controller.
- Modular Robotics: Routing data and power lines between distributed control boards, motor drivers, and feedback sensors across a robot chassis.
- Prototyping & Test Rigs: Providing quick, temporary signal links during breadboard testing and hardware debugging phases.
- Enclosure Integration: Linking internal control boards to nearby front-panel displays or modular peripheral units.
- Educational Electronics: Simplifying multi-sensor wiring for students and makers learning digital communication protocols.
