What type of connector are these?

CC268 · Dec 11, 2017

These white connectors seem to be very common for hooking into video transmitters, cameras, etc. What are these connectors called? Are the molex connectors? I need to purchase a 5 pin connector as my video transmitter came with a 5 pin with pig tails (no connector on the end). I would like to add one myself.

Not sure if this is some sort of a JST connector or molex?

Thanks

Thanks guys. Watched a bunch of YouTube vids on this. Like Virtue stated one of those cables is Pico the others are JST-SH. Those seem to be the most common.

Amazing how pricey they are (I mean they are like $0.25 - $0.50 depending on the amount of pins, but that adds up when you buy 20+ of each!)...ordered a bunch (2 pin through 6 pin) of both Pico and JST-SH on Digikey.

Sometime you can find them pretty cheap in large lots if you are willing to wait on the rowboat from China...lol
Ebay is a good place to look

Thanks - definitely options on ebay. I hate waiting for China shipping though lol. I got quite a few from digikey though for now.
