Compatible alternative for JST terminal

[pablo.belmarez]

Hi there!

I would like to know if there is a compatible alternative to the JST SLF-01T-P1.3E terminal (from another manufacturer) that could mate with the SLM-01T-P1.3E terminal

Hello Palbo,
Thank you for posting on the TechForum.
I am sorry to inform you that it is not recommended to go outside the manufacturer to cross mates or terminals with connectors. I could not find a stocking cross for you.
The only cross I was able to find is the bulk version 455-SLF-01T-1.3E-ND, it is also currently not in stock.

If you let us know the part number of the connector you want to use these in, we can see if there are other contacts compatible with that connector available.

Common JST Connectors in RC applications

In hobby radio control applications many people often refer to connectors as JST connectors or RC connectors. JST is one of several manufacturers which make similar connectors and there are several common sizes used in RC electronics. This post will lay out the common connectors and how to identify which ones you need. Here is a post that can help identify pitch if you are not sure: JST-XH is 2.50mm pin spacing (same as 0.1inch). This is not a micro size connector, but very common. Most balan…

Hi Pablo,
contacts aren’t a standard shape between makers, so anything that mates with the SLM pin and locks into the same housing has to be a deliberate copy of the EL series. Scondar’s SCT4500 and LHE’s C4501 both claim to be that. Neither one shows up at DigiKey or Mouser. If you can live with a different wire range, SLF-41T-P1.3E is the same EL socket in the same housing, and DigiKey has 8,723 in stock today, cut tape from one piece. JST rates it 20 to 16 AWG against 26 to 20 for the SLF-01T, so it only helps if you’re on 20 AWG.
