Electronics folks, I’m looking for an easy to use connector that I can use for installing a filtration unit under the bed of my voron 2.4 printer.

It’s going to be in an airspace between a 110C heater and an ACM deck plate so it will likely be quite warm but not oven hot.

Something like a barrel jack would be great but the ones I see on DigiKey and McMaster are only rated at 80C.

What’s a better option? Just a JST?

As far as I know, the JST ones are rated for 100+ degrees and are widely available, so I'd go with one of them, probably XH.

@Mawoka @amd @3dprinting I second JSTs. I think my Formbot Trident kit uses a JST under the bed somewhere already and I've yet to have problems.

/me whines “…but I don’t want to solder female JST connectors!”

Realistically, microfits are crimps for both socket and pin and are rated for 125C so they’re probably the right move.

@amd @Mawoka If you have microfits lying around, then yes, I agree. However, JSTs are _way_ more accessible, and a bunch cheaper too, at least for me.
