I am working on an STM32 based robot controller using an STM32F4 series board. The system includes IMU, encoders, and multiple sensor modules. During vibration and movement, some jumper connections become unreliable. I am currently using standard Dupont wires for prototyping. However, repeated disconnects are causing unstable sensor readings. I want to move to more robust connector solutions for PCB to wire interfaces.
I am confused about which connector types are best for pin based headers. Should I use JST, Molex, or locking header connectors instead of Dupont? What connector systems are commonly used in STM32 embedded designs?
I also need something suitable for frequent assembly and maintenance.
