    Default Looking for very small connectors?

    When trying to connect my Robocop to a battle counter I encountered the smallest sockets I have ever seen. I looked everywhere and could not find the connector to fit them. A friend of mine, who owns an electronic store, told me to look at his old worn out phone batteries that were in his recycling box. They have very small connectors attached to the phone batteries. I found three that worked. If you are ever looking for very small connectors.....try this idea. Worked for me.

    Sorry.......I cut all the connectors off of the batteries. So no pictures available. It looks like two AA batteries connected together with shrink wrap, and a red and black wire coming out of one end of the batteries with a very small connector on the other end of the wires. They looked like the old style cell phone batteries. I hope this helps.

    Both are made by JST, I'm sure.

    Digikey is a good source for items like that.

    Do an ebay search for JST Connector, tons of hits and cheap.
