To connect daugther i2C sensor and analog sensor on a main PCB would you prefer XH connector (left on the picture) or KH2510 (rigth on the picture)? Or other? [Capture d’écran 2022-01-06 163436] thank you

I would use Dupont headers. [image]

problem with a dupont is that you can reverse them easily.. The KH2510 is fine IMHO, if.... soldering is no option..

I did use Dupont header in some of my build but then I had to add a bit of glue to make sure the setup don't move.

:+1: for the 2510 series. Mainly because it's easy to see which way round they go. Also, i think they use the same crimp tool as the dupont ones. I got a nice selection of straight and right angle male PCB connectors from AliExpress, along with female mating halves and crimps for not a lot of cash.

Didn't think of it, but I will make a nice post with pictures in the next couple days, unless you beat me to it.
