GearBest Screen video connector?

Post by dicemaster » Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:30 am

Hey guys, so I have the GearBest Screen 3.5″ LCD TFT RGB Display Module, and I need the video connector that plugs into this port, so i can connect it up to my Pi Zero.
But I have no idea what it's called or where I could buy one.

I don't know what they're called and would be interested also to learn the name.

But is removing the connector not an option? Then you can solder directly on the pads.

you can just solder to the pads behind the connector, or remove the connector and do the same.

the wires are as follows, based on your photo, left to right:

red (5v), black (ground), white (AV), Yellow (AV)

You only need one of the AV wires and the 5V and gnd

Since it's not been said here, I want to mention the these type of connectors are called "JST". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector
