Here is a six pin vertical 1.0mm pitch connector. It is useful if you need something very tiny as a connection. These are not the standard JST type connectors we use on most of our boards, but are actually the much smaller JST-SH type.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

Do you have any breakout board for this connector, or would you simply solder cables to it? Those pins look pretty small...
The breakout board is now linked below
I would like to know what are the 2 extra pads use for?
Are they connected to ground or they are just there to add solidity to the connector when on the PCB?
I haven't received it yet and I wanna send my gerbers before the Thursday.
Can someone tell me if they are connected to something or if they are supposed to be grounding (or something else)?
Thanks
Please, clarify me if you provide the male and female connector or just one of both?
It is just the female version, as shown.If you search our site for JST SH you can find the mating cables and connectors.
I agree with Egon, a simple pin header breakout would be appreciated
While it's not a break out board per se, there is an Arduino GPS shield that features this connector:

That may not be quite what you're looking for but I thought I'd at least suggest it. :)
