As part of the PM2.5 project, I bought the the GP2Y1010AU0F sensor from RS online.
What I failed to realized is that the sensor came in without a connector. The socket that it came with is a JST ZH 6-pin 1.5mm pitch male socket. Damn. Thought I could kick start some of the work but I guess not going to happen.
What I need to get now is the female socket. Not easy to find the ones that are crimped.

I was looking high and low including posting to the Arduino Malaysia Facebook.
Few options:
- Buy from Ebay(which I did)
- Buy from Jalan Pasar(recommended by Facebook)
- Buy components from RS including the crimper – too expensive and don’t think I want spend that much money. It’s over 1k!
While waiting for eBay, I’ll try my luck at Jalan Pasar tomorrow. Wish me luck!
