Any electronics experts know what this connector is called ?

[ShiWarrior]

Hi

I am looking to try and make a little extension lead from this little connector
doesn't have to be very long, just long enough to reach

I think its the same (or very similar) to a connection to the motherboard on PCs (certainly in the olden days)

any ideas ?

Just search for a Molex extension cable.

its not this size :

its smaller than that, its not for hard drives from the power supply, those are too big lol

Check out Mini-fit power connectors.

What is it for? Reminds me of the battery pack connection on my radio controlled car over thirty years ago.

Check out Mini-fit power connectors.

EDIT: Molex do a range of sizes. Check out their site and pick the size that you want.

haha not sure what happened there, was supposed to be an edit to my previous post @ShiWarrior

its for my Lipo4 battery in my car for my dashcam

heres a pic, its the "output" one

Ah, that would be why then, similar use. Think melmac has the best advice, as you can measure it and match up the specs.

I think I'd just cut the cable and add in the required amount (only 4 wires), using heat shrink to cover up the joins personally

This. I think it would be a struggle to find a micro fit extension especially with the 4x1 connector as opposed to the more standard 2x2 version.

Powerpoles. . That takes me back and yes 30 years ago.

Looking around 3mm pitch is correct so the connector linked above from RS would do the trick. Be aware though that it requires pins and you'd have to do some crimping. Personally I would solder extensions as above but you could also use 2 pin wago connectors I suppose although it would take up more space and not look as nice.

Interesting device, I've not heard of them before. I was initially terrified when you said 'Lipo4' but I think you mean LiFePO4 which is much less scary

Queen wasp cable. I should know. My dad kills them for a living.
