Default replacement balance connectors or spare parts?
A lead to one of my 5S balance connectors broke off. It will be a tricky soldering fix. Does anybody know where to get spare connectors? (JST-XH)

Barring that, any repair tips?

Thanks.
Jim

Found them at Digikey.

5S (6 position): 455-2218-ND
Pins: 455-2261-1-ND

It appears they'll sell small quantities and ship them for cheap (in an envelope). I haven't purchased there yet. Will probably try, add some 6S to the order, and report back how it goes.

Yeah, thanks. I ordered up. The "envelope" class shipping wasn't an option by the time I added some 6S and such. Still cheap. No paypal, but that's not a problem.

+1. I've been ordering stuff from DigiKey since I was a teenager (decades ago) and they've always catered to the hobbyist by offering small quantities.

Experience is something you gain only after you need it.
I wouldn't mind social media so much if it didn't involve people.

I've feel like I've opened some doors for myself. Now I have to make my first order from McMaster-Carr and I'll be all set.

Grainger is another good place for hardware.
