Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I need to locate 2 of these types of 4 pin connectors for a project but I don't know what they are formally called.

Can anyone tell me? They're similar to the connectors found on 3.5" floppy drives for power but smaller.

I went to Jaycar and they didn't have any nor could the guy behind the counter tell me what they're called.

They're not uncommon, coming in different sizes.

I need to 2 pin types.

Nick

Nick, a photo with a ruler would be a good thing or just tell us the measurements. That one looks huge.

EDIT: pin to pin distance would also be goodEdited by BobD 2013-05-13

Nick, could this be similar to the Oupiin connectors sold by Altronics?

It looks like a JST connector, I've got them on LiPo batteries as balance connectors here's an example. , again using a ruler in your images would help to show the scale.

For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED.
