Dumb question

[Jonsayler]

Hello I’m looking to extend my feather weight tracker system wiring so it has an on off switch for the 1 cell Lipo. Are these just “micro JST” connectors? I need to order male and female ends. Could there be another name for them? Want to make sure I get a compatible end

I believe they are. A quick email to Adrian would get you the actual answer.

I’ve tried emailing with no response…might be hitting his junk email or something

He is right in the middle of the BlueRaven development so I would give it some time

I believe the battery uses a JST ph 2.0 connector, it's the same connector that the Altus Metrum batteries use. Be very careful with the polarity. The batteries that Featherweight and Altus Metrum sell have the opposite polarity to pretty much every other battery on the market with that connector. It is extremely infuriating that there isn't a standard polarity for this connector, and that rocketry avionics apparently decided to use the reverse polarity from what all other batteries with that connector use, but it is what it is. Just be extra careful about the battery polarity when doing anything with these connectors.

These are the pigtails that I use to connect batteries. They do have the wrong polarity for the stock Featherweight battery, but they do match all of the other batteries that I use.

Be very careful with the polarity.

Very important. When I buy these connectors I take them apart and put the red/black on the sides that match my junk, to hopefully prevent future issues.

I'm still waiting for my future mistake because of this.
