Using this cable is a breeze. First, locate the JST PH 4-pin port on your device. Connect the JST PH 4-pin end of the cable to this port. Then, use the alligator clips on the other end to connect to the desired wires or pads. Make sure to match the colors correctly - black for GND, red for V+, white for SDA, and green for SCL. When using it with boards or breakouts with 'STEMMA' connectors, just plug it in and you're good to go. As for maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp objects to avoid cuts. Also, store it in a dry place when not in use. If you want more information about JST PH connectors, check out the JST website.
