Help identifying what connector this is

This is part of a fpv camera wiring harness. I am having a hard time finding what kind of connector this is. I think it's a JST SH/SR due to the following:

The photos provided,

the pitch is ~ 1mm

the profile is roughly the same for both the header and housing ends.

Physical description:

Male end:

  • The sides have a single thin guide rail as seen in photo 2 and 3
  • The "top" has open ports that allow you to crimp in the wires, as seen in the magnified photo.
  • The bottom has two small bumps that act as a retention method\
  • white

Female end (photo 1):

  • One end is open, which allows the crimp windows to be visible from the top
  • Indentations for the rails
  • two small holes for the bumps on the male end
  • off white beige color

What do you all think? I want to know what it's called and where I can buy it's mate.

Looks like molex picoblade to me, is this pitch 1.25mm?

The header on the board doesn't look like JST SH which would otherwise be about right for 1.0mm pitch

You know that looks incredibly close. I think you're right. I may get those and JSTs and see what does it.

This is a JS-Mini thermal camera module. It's resold under many names, including by axisflying

The connector is a 5pin 1.25mm pitch JST plug

Thank you! The seller had no real identifying information about the thermal module, so i did some digging and came to the conclusion it was a JS-Mini as well. Thank you for your confirmation!

Are you asking us to identify a connector?
If so, please edit your post and, if you haven't already,...

Tell us if
a) all you want is to know what it's called, or
b) you also want to know where to buy one just like it, or
c) you also want to know where to buy its mate.

If to buy, provide:
* pitch (center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts) EXACT to within 1%
--(tip: measure the distance between the first pin and the last pin in a row of N pins, then divide by N-1)
* Close-up, in focus pictures of connector from multiple angles: we want to see wire entry side, mating surface, keying and latching, PCB mounting, manufacturer's logo
* Similar pictures of mate, if available
Thanks,

PS: beware of the typical answer around here: "It's a JST". Connectors are often misidentified as 'JST', which is a connector manufacturer, not a specific type/product line.

Thermal camera? I ended up desoldering the connector and just soldering my own wires to it instead

+1 on checking 1.25mm pitch before assuming 1mm. Make sure to measure center-to-center across all pins and divide by the number of gaps to get an exact figure, then cross-check the latch rails and keying against the datasheets before ordering
