The term "JST" is sometimes incorrectly used as a vernacular term meaning any small white electrical connector mounted on PCBs. We recommend you own a set of crimping pliers as well, such as these nice ones from Engineer - they're easier to use than trying to crimp with pliers. JST manufactures a large number of series (families) of connectors. [2] The PCB (wire-to-board) connectors are available in top (vertical) or side (horizontal) entry, and through-hole or surface-mount.

JST France, electronic components manufacturer, was established in Vitry-le-François in 1989. Our plant is composed of 3 machine shops (molding, assembly and stamping) and an industrialization This 2.0mm pitch connector is very commonly seen in low cost consumer electronics as well as a plenitude of pre-fabricated hobbyist PCBs and parts. They’re dirt cheap, reasonably compact but not particularly robust. Very similar to the above series, however in a dual row configuration. Commonly used in LCD / LVDS applications. GH (1.25mm pitch)

See the top left female connector in this photo from Common JST Connector Types - PH (2.0mm pitch): IWISS IWS-2820M. A copy of the Engineer PAD-11. Not as well made but for the significantly lower price, it could be forgiven. To minimize confusion, it is best to describe a connector using: the manufacturer's name, exact connector series, and optionally the pitch, such as "JST-XH" or "JST-XH-2.50mm" or "2.50mm JST XH-series" or other variations. It is designed to meet the demand for high-density connection of internal wires to printed circuit boards. It is compact, highly reliable and low in cost.The JST-PH connector is used on many high current micro ESC and LiPo batteries - e.g. the E-flite Blade mCPX helicopter, the Spektrum AR6400LBL receiver and several Parkzone, E-Flite 'UMX' models. ZH is one of the smallest pitch types of through-hole JST connector. Types smaller than this are all SMD. I am told these are common 3D printer related applications.

The fully shrouded header has walls on all four sides to prevent improper connection to the mating housing and to prevent the intrusion of flux and other contaminants. The solder side of the header has a retention mechanism that prevents it from floating during soldering. As a result, the header can be positioned accurately.

Your male connector also has two small lumps/keys then correspond to the two small holes either side of the long slot on the female.EH is a 2.5mm pitch connector deployed in low cost products where a current carrying connector is needed, but PCB real-estate is highly constrained. They are significantly slimmer than XH connectors. Example part numbers Like the above series, also surface mount only however featuring positive latching mechanism and a completely different type of mating surface. VH (3.96mm pitch) This is a thin, low-profile 2.0mm pitch connector 8.0mm in height after mounting and 4.5mm in width. Note: Some 2.50 mm parts are incorrectly sold on the internet as 2.54mm (0.100in), and the 1.25mm parts as 1.27mm (0.050in). surface mounting), insulation displacement (IDC), board to board, board to wire, wire to wire, LED, waterproof, pitch from 0.1 to 13mm, hand tools, semi-automatic presses and applicators for all our
