We start with the JST XH series. Its pitch of 2.5 mm is effectively identical to the 0.1″ pitch commonly found on prototyping breadboards. After the XH series, the pin pitch gets narrower, the wires get thinner, and the connectors are more fragile through PH (2.0 mm), ZH (1.5 mm), GH (1.25 mm), and SH (1.0 mm).
What are the different sizes of JST connectors?
JST series Pin-to-pin pitch Wire size (AWG)
---------- ------------------ ---------------
PH 2.00 mm (0.079 in) 32 to 24
ZH 1.50 mm (0.059 in) 32 to 26
GH 1.25 mm (0.049 in) 30 to 26
SH 1.00 mm (0.039 in) 32 to 28
Can you solder JST connector?
Secure the JST cable to the helping third hand. Using wire strippers, remove a small bit of insulation from the tips of each wire to expose them. Then, tin the tips by applying a small amount of solder to them. This will fuse the strands of wire together to prevent them from fraying.

How do I know my JST connector size?
JST connectors are mostly identified by the length between one contanct to the centre of another contact. There are always between two to higher contacts in a single line. Some families have multiple rows as well. This length is the pitch of the connector type and determines the family that the connector is a part off.Jun 3, 2021
